The corporate name "TOTO" is an abbreviation of the company's original Japanese founding name, Toyo Toki Kogyo (Oriental Ceramics). In Japanese linguistic contexts, individual kanji characters combined to form casual words can carry diverse meanings relating to capitals, movement, or sound, but the corporate identity is a direct shorthand contraction reflecting its historical heritage as a premier manufacturer of ceramic sanitary earthenware and plumbing products.
