Toyota made her wrestling debut in 1987 with Wrestling/AllJapanWomensProWrestling, and gained widespread attention at Wrestle Marinepiad 1989, where she and Mima Shimoda defeated Toshiyo Yamada and Etsuko Mita in an opening match that upstaged the more established wrestlers on the card. Her rise continued throughout the early 90s, establishing herself as one of the top names in women's wrestling. Towards the end of the 90s, injuries forced her to slow down from the fast-paced style she had become known for, but she continued to wrestle, appearing in Mexico for the Universal Wrestling Association and the US for the Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} promotion, before retiring in 2017.

She has been awarded seven five star matches From The Wrestling Observer for her individual efforts and another seven for her work in tag teams, giving her a record setting fourteen, as well as two match of the year awards and was named most outstanding wrestler of 1995.

* CastFromHitPoints: Her lightning quick and high-risk style of wrestling often lent itself to exceptionally desperate maneuvers and dives, and she would walk away from matches having taken just as much damage as her opponent had.



* NoSell: Tried to psyche out Wrestling/SaraDelRey by inviting and shrugging off her famed kicks. Incidentally, this is largely why Death Ray became a famed {{kick chick}}, so all you wrestlers who had to suffer them? You can blame Toyota.

* SquashMatch: At ''Wrestling/DragonGate Memorial Gate 2015'' Toyota and Aja Kong beat "Hollywood" Stalker Ichikawa and Yosuke (loves) Santa Maria in thirteen seconds. In usual Ichikawa, he did get them a rematch but despite doing a little better Kong and Toyota still beat them.

->''In his 2002 book ''Top 100 Pro Wrestlers of All Time'', John F. Molinaro refers to Manami Toyota as "The Wrestling/RicFlair of women's wrestling, arguably the greatest female pro wrestler of all time". It's heavy praise, but it just may be warranted. Toyota raised the bar for women's wrestling to even greater heights in All Japan Women during the 1990s. However, unlike Flair, Toyota was both a master technician and a high flyer, dazzling fans with her moonsaults, suicide dives, and diving headbutts off the top rope.''
