Legacy

To-y was a pioneer of band-themed manga and has served as an influence to other manga series like Beck and Nana.[15]

In 2007, Justin Sevakis of Anime News Network reported that a frame-by-frame digital restoration of the To-y OVA was being done by fans. He cited it as the first fan restoration in the anime community.[12]

Visual kei rock band Penicillin took their name from the group Penicillin Shock seen in To-y, and titled their first album after the fictional band.[16] In 2015, Atsushi Kamijo drew the album cover for Penicillin's Memories ~Japanese Masterpieces~.[17]

Professional wrestler Toi Kojima changed his ring name to "To-y" in February 2024.[18] He explained that his parents were fans of Kamijo and To-y and had named him after the series, so he will now be using the ring name to honor it and bring more attention to pro-wrestling.[19]
