A disciple of Kunisada Utagawa and Kuniyoshi Utagawa. His real surname is Fukuyama, commonly known as Kanekichi (or 兼二郎Kanejirou). He is called Ichiryusai(一龍斎). At first he studied painting with Kunisada, but he left Kunisada and became a disciple of Kuniyoshi. Kuniyoshi was just when Kuniyoshi took the name of the second generation Toyokuni, so he intentionally gave him the name of Yoshitoyo. In other words, he put the letter “Toyo豊” under the letter “Yoshi芳”. His drawing period was from Ansei to Keio, and at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, he was good at drawing animals and kites, and also painted Yokohama. He died in Nihonbashi Shin-Asakacho, 37 years old
