[edit] Background
The name and registry come from the studio model. The class name, which appears in the Star Trek Encyclopedia, was provided by production sources.
In addition the Encyclopedia states, "the Kyushu was named for one of the four main islands of Japan, where a Japanese orbital launch facility was located."
The Kyushu was referenced in a line in DS9: "Emissary" that was later cut. The Kyushu is also mentioned in the video game Star Trek: Borg as the USS Righteous monitored the battle of Wolf 359.
