  • Kobayashi Maru (小林丸) is a possible, but not typical Japanese name for a ship. Kobayashi (小林) is a typical Japanese surname which means "small forest" and Maru (丸) means circle shape and is used to designate commercial ships or fishing boats in modern times, and military ships such as Kanrin Maru in pre-Modern era (before Meiji revolution), swords such as Oni Maru and Hiza Maru, castles such as Sanada Maru, horses, dogs, or any properties.
  • The term Kobayashi Maru, therefore, may be named after its owner's name, but no meaning such as "place" or "death".

Same design as USS Kobayashi Maru[]

So it would seem this is the same design as the alt USS Kobayashi Maru, which isn't a problem if the ship itself predated the Kelvan timeline split. –Gvsualan (talk) 19:45, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

A Starfleet ship?[]

Could this be a Starfleet ship? The model of the ship seen in "Kobayashi" appears to have the registry prefix NCC on its hull.Memphis77 (talk) 22:01, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
