I've always been particularly interested in automotive history. The word 'Toyota' is actually the English name of Toyota Motor Corporation, derived from the surname 'Toyoda' of its Japanese founding family. When the company was established in 1937, they changed 'Toyoda' to 'Toyota' because in Japanese Katakana, 'トヨタ' has fewer strokes (only 8), which was considered an auspicious number, whereas the original name had 10 strokes. 'Toyoda' originally meant 'fertile rice fields,' symbolizing abundance, but today 'Toyota' represents an innovator in the automotive industry. Kiichiro Toyoda started building cars in the 1930s, initially as a branch of a loom factory, which later became an independent automotive giant. After World War II, they revived and launched the Land Cruiser off-road vehicle, driving global exports. Today, Toyota enjoys a strong reputation worldwide, dominating the market with reliability and pioneering hybrid technology like the Prius, proving its ability to evolve with the times. When I study automotive transformations, I'm always captivated by Toyota's inspirational story—how it grew from a small family workshop into the world's leading automaker.
