as many people know, daihatsu is/was an automotive manufacturer. god knows if they're still around, but that's not the point of this thread.

i got to thinking that i recognized the first part of the name "dai" which means great, so i went to google, searching for a translation of hatsu.

and so i found it.

dai = great
hatsu = discharge.

that's right, daihatsu is a great discharge.
