Career
Until junior high school, Toyoda was able to compete on an equal footing with able-bodied players, but by high school she was no match for them. At the time, she was adamant about playing on an equal footing with able-bodied players, but after being persuaded by her coach, she decided to participate in a para-badminton tournament. This was the trigger for Toyoda to enter the world of para-badminton. While still a student at the university, she won the Para-Badminton World Championships held in Dortmund, Germany in November 2013, becoming the world champion.{{Cite web |url=http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=4F912E48-45C1-4804-A367-06571AC1D487&player=273 |title=BWF Para-Badminton World Championships 2013 |website=tournamentsoftware.com |publisher=Badminton World Federation |accessdate=2016-10-23}} After graduating from the university, Toyoda worked for Yonex while also training in the company's badminton club. Since November 2016, badminton player Kanako Yonekura has been Toyoda's personal coach.
In September 2015, Toyoda was the defending champion at the 2015 Para-Badminton World Championships in Aylesbury, England, but had to settle for second place.{{Cite web |url=http://bwf.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/player.aspx?id=373F4ADE-ED29-4899-8266-474278A4F9C3&player=227 |title=BWF Para-Badminton World Championships 2015 |website=bwf.tournamentsoftware.com |publisher=Badminton World Federation |accessdate=2016-10-24}}{{Cite web |url=http://www.yonex.co.jp/badminton/news/2015/09/1509161700.html |title=豊田まみ子が「パラバドミントン世界選手権大会」の女子単で銀メダル、女子複で銅メダル！ |trans-title=Mami Toyoda wins silver medal in women's singles and bronze medal in women's doubles at the Para-Badminton World Championships! |website=yonex.co.jp |publisher=ヨネックス [Yonex] |accessdate=2016-10-24}}
