** The last IJN destroyer to be lost in the Pacific War, outlasted in Kancolle only by the surviving [[Yukikaze]], [[Hibiki]], and [[Ushio]]. Generally she is not considered "sunk" as she does not meet the definition of the word; she was beached in critical condition rather than actually passing beneath the water's surface and scrapped around the same time as Ushio. For this reason she is sometimes included by fan-artists in group depictions of the surviving Kanmusu.

* Hatsushimo took part in Operation Ten-Ichi-Gō, Yamato's final mission, and took even less damage during it than Yukikaze, emerging unscathed with two sailors injured. By contrast she rescued approximately 310 people from the crews of the sinking [[Yahagi]] and [[Hamakaze]].

* An anchor was retrieved from her wreckage and is currently [https://www.google.co.jp/maps/@35.700884,139.801128,3a,21.7y,313.85h,84.8t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sobK61pe4i2PmS8lC2v0DoQ!2e0 displayed outside of the Yamada Memorial Hospital (Google Maps Street View)] in Sumida City, Tokyo. Dr. Masaaki Yamada, the founder of the hospital, was a ship's doctor of Hatsushimo. Interestingly, Yukikaze met a similar fate (she also ran aground and was memorialised via anchor, along with her rudder in Taiwan) after failed attempts to bring her full self back to Japan to be preserved as a museum ship.

* The hachimaki is a likely reference to her communication officer's recollection of Hatsushimo's crew at the moment Yamato sank, as described in Abe Saburou's book 特攻大和艦隊 (Tokkou Yamato Kantai, lit. Yamato Suicide Fleet): "Even now, Officer Matsui remembers clearly the faces of the hachimaki-donning troops, watching [her go down] with bitter expressions."

** The hachimaki's stripes are a reference to the famous Second Torpedo Squadron. Hatsushimo was not originally a member, but out of necessity and a general lack of ships, joined their ranks at the end of the war. The Second Torpedo Squadron was officially dissolved in a ceremony on her deck, on 20 April 1945.

* Japanese fans have pointed out that Hatsushimo's hair tie is similar to the one worn by [[Yahagi]]. Given that other destroyers have often been given articles of clothing similar to that of the larger ships whose survivors they rescued, it's entirely possible that this was intended from the start.

** The same has also been said of Hatsushimo Kai Ni's hachimaki, resembling Yahagi's tie in colouration. Whether her new (white) hair tie will have some future significance to Yahagi is undetermined, though she appeared in Kadokawa's magazine ''Comptiq'' [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-menZ2UAAAGNwX.jpg with a red hair tie instead]. It is unknown which version is considered the final one.
