(and son of its founder), recently credited Sean Traynor (Takasago USA president) among the key Americans who have made the car maker a success.

According to Automotive News, the comments came as Toyoda addressed a gathering at Washington, DC's Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, commemorating Toyota's 50th anniversary of doing business in the United States.
