Aliases

Possibly at the behest of Human Entertainment, Hashimoto used several aliases throughout his career.

In Michael Andretti's World Grand Prix, he is credited as M. Bridgeroot. the M is simply his given name initial, and Bridgeroot is simply a translation of the kanji of his surname.

In the Japanese version of Monster Party, he is credited as Misquamacus Hashimoto. In that game, the developers are, fittingly, named after famous horror characters. Hashimoto's name is a reference to the main antagonist of the movie The Manitou. The American version on Monster Party credits him as Hashimotoravolta, which may be a portmanteau of his last name and actor John Travolta, as the game has many pop-culture references in it.
