    Toyoda = original family name
    Toyota = name change for marketing purposes selling overseas, is my understanding.

    Why the car company is named Toyota, not Toyoda

    Not sure why they would be using it in 1999.

    toyoda is a seperate company that toyota owns that deals more with heavy industry stuff youl find it stamped on alot of older toyota steering components and cvs and stuff.


    story goes is they dropped the dakuten for ダ (da katakana) to タ(ta katakana) to make the total stroke order 8 which is considered lucky. this is from toyotas faq page themselves.
