In The Crane, the company's name is spelled differently — Yamagoto Industries.
Yamagato produces software which auto translates most of the entries on Hiro's blog.
Kaito keeps a satellite office in the Kirby Plaza building. (Four Months Later...)
Quentin Frady's clue board has the Yamagato logo on it. (Dark Matters, Part 5)

Trivia

The clock in Hiro's cubicle consists of kanji, Chinese characters, that represent the text "One", "Two", etc. instead of the numerical values "1", "2", etc. Modern clocks in Japan typically show the latter.
Hiro is a programmer with a level 3 security clearance. His ID number is 651283461132, and he is referred to as "a lowly office drone". (The Crane)
Part of the Heroes Evolutions experience, yamagatofellowship.org is the real-life website for Yamagato Industries which is headed by Kaito Nakamura.
After returning from America, Ando has placed an American flag on his desk. (Kindred)
The kanji for "Yamagato" (山形) translates approximately to "mountain shape" or "shape of mountain".
According to Pinehearst's file on Kaito, Yamagato's address is 100 Yamagato Industries Way. Tadashi and Hiro also say that Yamagato's address is 614 Kaminaka Street (Acceptance). Ultimately, it is unknown how many buildings/offices Yamagato Industries owns.
According to the episode commentary for The Second Coming, scenes that took place in Hiro's office were filmed on the 51st floor of the Arco building.
According to Heroes Interactive, scenes from Acceptance that took place on the roof of Yamagato were shot on the roof of the Sunset Gower Studios parking garage.
According to Saving Charlie, Hiro and Ando's cubicles are on the 16th floor of Yamagato. (Chapter 3)
