Toyopet was just a model. It was still Toyota Motor Co. I don't call myself Hachiroku fer nuttin'!
It's amazing you even remember the Toyopet. IIRC, you said you were in Japan for a while?
They were so horrible, Toyota started selling them in the US in 1958, and stopped selling them as the 1960 model year began. They came back couple years later with the Land Cruiser, and then followed that with the Corolla a couple years after that.
