Why is Toyoda not spelled 'Toyota'? The Washington Post explains. Executive summary: His grandfather started the company, but they changed the name because "Toyota" has a luckier number of brush strokes (8). --ADM [via Consumerist]
What my understanding is the "d" changed to "t" was because of the smoother "sound" in Japan society..
