had to check: toyota owns 5% of mazda which makes them the largest shareholder.

They also own Denso, which is the second largest auto parts company.
And they partner with Subaru on some things, such as the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86, which are basically the same car with different badging.
Perhaps more relevant, the Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X (renamed bZ for 2026) are on a shared EV platform.
