Strengths:

• Raw all around athletic ability.  Possibly has the greatest endurance for a wrestler.  '95 WWWA singles title match against Kyoko Inoue resulted in a 60 minute draw, with high spots from start to finish proving her legendary constitution.
• Speed.  Hits her opponents fast and hard, about one of the few people that deserves to have her dropkick to be called a "missile."
• Intensity.  Draws you in her matches because she's very emotional.  Knows how to blend her in ring ability with involving the audience without sacrificing match quality.  Very few wrestlers know how to do this.
• Back.  Best arch in the entire wrestling world.  Main submission move and her suplexes rely on her bridging technique.  Typically bridges out of pins rather than using the ropes or kicking out.
• Powerful leg strength.  Gets incredible extension on her dropkicks that are awe inspiring, no matter times you see it.

• Recklessness.  Tends to rely on putting on a fast paced match every night, taxing years off her career to give her fans the best show possible.  Should slow down in favor of picking her nights for good matches and her best spots.  Also, should lay off the tables so her back doesn't die on her.
• Selling.  Come backs have been criticized to be too quick.  While she'll take any bump and allow her opponent to work any style match, Toyota tends to not sell the previous injury to create a more interesting wrestling story.  Still, it presents her as the best babyface in women's wrestling.
• Current role.  She's the best in AJW and their only real draw.  But AJW needs to begin to build new stars for the day she retires.
• Age.  She's slightly younger than Hikari Fukuoka, who is probably the top women's worker currently, but the years of high paced matches are catching up.
• Psychology.  Probably her weakest aspect.  Relies too much on hitting her trademark spots rather than developing new ways for getting her opponents into them.  She doesn't need to develop new spots, just ways to make the matches stimulating.  It will increase her career expectancy.
