The Tokai Bank was a leading commercial bank in Japan, based in Nagoya. In the second half of the 20th century, it was the dominant bank in the Chūkyō metropolitan area of central Japan, the home of Toyota and other manufacturing firms. Tokai Bank was formed by merger during World War II, and eventually merged in 2000-2002 with Sanwa Bank and Toyo Trust and Banking to form UFJ Bank, a predecessor of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group.[1]
