Mitsubishi is a Japanese company, originally a clan in their country, they rose to prominence with the modernization of the country and became one of "The Big Four", one of the biggest companies in the Japanese Zaibatsu (effectively very big companies ruled by a single family, that had massive sway in the way the country was governed). It originally was created as the Tsukumo Shokai [九十九商会] (Direct translation: 99 company) in 1870, but changed it's name in 1873 to Mitsubishi Shokai [三菱商会] (DT: three water caltrop company). The emblem and name of the company is the family crest of the clan that ruled the founders birthplace, and who employed him. The Mitsubishi Clan, based on 三 meaning three, and 菱 which means water caltrop, a plant whos leaves are shaped like diamonds, hence the emblem being three diamonds.
Overall I'd say the more modern and western emblems are more likely to actually be intended as this symbolism, but when you get into old, eastern symbols you start to get into things that are far more complicated, as while the deep state is very old, it would be unlikely for them to have such extreme influence in Japan at the time, especially as they were more focused on directly ruling over and colonizing other nations instead of setting up shadow companies in them. Nissan is also a member of the Zaibatsu, as is Toyota, Honda, etc. although the zaibatsu are now called Keiretsu, they're effectively the same thing.
If anything, it's more likely the Zaibatsu came to blows with the deep state at the time, and after world war 2, agreed to cooperate and work together after Japans defeat, acting as a door to allow the deep state into the country while maintaining a veneer of independence.
The logos are incredibly unlikely to have been designed by them, but they're inarguably linked to them today if only through both the Zaibatsu and Deep States desire for power. Rant over.
