Etymology
- The game spells it トヨ, written in katakana. ト means "together" and ヨ means "dearest" or "understand".
- Toyo can be spelled two ways, 臺與 or 台与.
- 臺與 is in kanji. 臺 means "tower", and 與 means "give".
- 台与 is written in hiragana. Its characters mean "platform" (台) and "giving" (与).
- Iyo can be spelled in two ways, as well. Those spellings are 壹與 or 壱与.
- 壹與 is written in kanji. 壹 means "one" and 與 means "give".
- 壱与 is written in kanji. Its characters mean "one" (壱) and "giving" (与).
Trivia
- She is the only Puella Historia character so far to be based on a real person.
- Her name may alternatively be Iyo, as both Toyo and Iyo are used when referring to Queen Toyo.
- She is the tenth playable character to lack a family name. The others being Lil' Kyubey, Kuroe, Chizuru, Kuro (黒), Kuro (くろ), Ebony, Olga, Gunhild and Heruka.
- Interestingly. there are little to no reliable records that give a family name for Toyo.
- She was thirteen when she rose to power.
- Queen Himiko, the queen who Toyo is the successor to, was also seen in Episode 12 of the main anime with a palace burning around her. It is implied Ultimate Madoka saved her.
- This contradicts historical records, however. She died at 78 years old in real life.
- In her introduction at the end of The Rakshasi of Tibet, she says "I am Himiko-sama's... what!?"
