Origins
Incorporated in 1917, Toto's beginnings mirrored Japan's growth. In the early years of its existence, the company made products to meet the demand for new, modern urban housing. It used the first tunnel kilns in the country that could produce ceramics continuously. It also pioneered the use automation to control production, which allows for greater efficiency and consistency.
In the late 1980s the company began to expand overseas in order to profit from sales and new markets. The company established the Cera Trading Company to import and market other products from other manufacturers in order to complement its own line of sanitary earthenwares as well as plumbing fittings. This strategy helped to increase sales and expand the market share of the company globally.
In the 90s, Toto began to focus on research and development for water-related appliances. It also improved its distribution system to better serve the needs of customers and to increase profits. The company employed the same just-in-time approach to its supply chain management and sales program. This resulted in a greater level of satisfaction with the customer.
Toto has continued to innovate in the toilet technology. The most recent toilet features an environmentally friendly, powerful tornado flush. The company also makes use of recycled water in its manufacturing process and has a green purchasing policy. Apart from toilets, Toto manufactures bathtubs and faucets, as well as hand dryers that are more efficient in energy use than standard models.
The first museum of the company was opened in 2015 It has exhibits on Toto's seminal products and their evolution as well as its group companies (all that deal with ceramics) and the history of plumbing and other products like bath units and, in a different gallery, Toto products sold around the world.

Line-up
Turn Back, the band's third studio album, was an ode to the classic sextet structure and a more consistent, stronger effort with a harder edge. Its more punk-rock sound was indicative of the maturation of group, with drummer Bobby Kimball's improved virtuosity on drums, and a more mature, confident vocal delivery from singer Joseph Williams. Keyboardist David Paich's work also was more precise, 토토사이트 sharper and less cloying than on previous performances.
After touring to promote the album, the band recorded a live concert in Amsterdam which was released as a two-CD set called Falling In Between Live on Eagle Records. The studio album came out shortly after, and the group went on an extensive world tour to promote the album. During this time, keyboardist Greg Phillinganes filled in for Paich, and bassist David Hungate left the group to spend more time with his family.
In 1998, Paich and Lukather started searching through old tapes and demos for an album that would feature songs that had never been recorded before. It was completed as a double album titled Then And Now in 2001. It was the first album in the band's history that did not include one single track with the word “A” in its title and it included one previously not released track, “Kari-Anne”.

Hungate also returned to Nashville and Leland Sklar's drumming duties were replaced by Shem Von Schroeck.
Downes, Wetton Palmer and Howe, the founding members of Asia, met in England in the beginning of 2006 to discuss the possibility that the band could be revived. This lineup, 토토 꽁머니 minus Howe who was busy with Yes during that time, was renamed Toto XIV. They toured extensively.
In 2010, the band reunited for another reunion tour with a slightly different line-up, including guitarists Mike Porcaro and Steve Lukather, drummer John Pierce, bassist Shannon Forrest, and multi-instrumentalists Warren Ham and Dominique Taplin. The band also had a special guest appearance from singer Michael McDonald and a backing vocalist named Mabvuto Carver.
