The man's identity is being withheld at the request of his family, who continue to live in Toyota City where the company is based.

Toyota has its own city? Damn.
I guess corperations really do rule the world.

No it isn't, it's the name of the company's founder. They changed it from Toyoda to Toyota because of some gay spiritual crap. Something to do with how many strokes it takes to write the name in Japanese.

You might be confused with Subaru, which means "unity."
