Toyo

Disambiguation Page

Toyo is common as an ingredient of Japanese company and camera names.

It is likely to stand for either of two words, words that sound entirely different to fluent speakers of Japanese ears but that may confuse others. One is the short "Toyo"; the other the long "Tōyō". (To Japanese ears, the latter is twice the length of the former.) But whether out of convenience or a desire not to confuse those unused to macrons and the sounds of Japanese, the latter too is often simply written as "Toyo".
