Toda kind of stumbled into voice acting. She didn't really see it as a serious career path—thought it was too demanding alongside her regular acting work, honestly. The real reason she took the gig initially was pretty practical: she was working part-time at a theater and her colleagues basically nudged her toward it, figuring she could put her acting skills to use somewhere else.
She was genuinely close with actress Kanako Fukaura before they ever worked together on screen. When Fukaura died of cancer, Toda actually stepped back from the spotlight for a while to grieve.
There's a fun bit of trivia fans often point out: Toda has a cameo in the 2005 romance drama Densha Otoko as the protagonist's mother. She sneaks in some nods to Matilda, her character from the Gundam franchise—which is perfect because the main character of Densha is obsessed with that very series. It's the kind of detail that rewards longtime fans paying attention.
