Origins
The early history of Toto that began in 1917, mirrored Japan's rapid economic growth.

It also pioneered automation to allow production control, allowing greater efficiency and a more consistent production.
The company began expanding overseas in the late 1980s to benefit from new markets and sales opportunities. The company founded the Cera Trading Company to import and distribute other products of other manufacturers in order to complement its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy increased sales and expanded the firm’s global market share.

They also appeared on records by Steely Don, Seals and Crofts and Sonny and Cher.
Discography

Line-up
The album's third, Turn Back, marked the return to the traditional sextet format of the previous albums. It was a stronger, more constant effort with an edge that was more pronounced than Hydra.
