Which country is the automaker Toyota from?

Toyota is an automaker from Japan.

Toyota Motor Corporation is a Japanese multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. The company grew from Toyota Industries, the machinery business founded by Sakichi Toyoda, and was incorporated as an independent automobile company on August 28, 1937, under Kiichiro Toyoda.

Toyota’s early automotive work included the Type A engine in 1934 and the Toyota AA passenger car in 1936. After World War II, the company developed a highly influential manufacturing system emphasizing efficient production, quality control, standardized work, and just-in-time supply practices.

Toyota is sometimes mistaken for an American or German automaker because it has major factories, design centers, and sales operations around the world. Those facilities make Toyota a global manufacturer, but the company’s national origin, headquarters, and corporate identity are Japanese. Its major brands and divisions include Lexus and Gazoo Racing.
