Taiyō is the romanization for some Japanese words, such as 太陽 for sun and 大洋 for ocean. It can also refer to:

  • a male Japanese firstname
  • Taiyō, a Japanese magazine
  • Natsuki Taiyo, a Japanese professional wrestler
  • Taiyō Kea, an American professional wrestler

  • Japanese aircraft carrier Taiyō

    The Japanese aircraft carrier Taiyō was one of four ocean liners converted to escort carriers by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. She was the lead ship of her class of three carriers. She was initially used to transport aircraft to distant air bases, and for training pilots to land on conventional aircraft carriers. The ship was later used to escort convoys of merchant ships until she was sunk by an American submarine in 1944.

    Civilian service

    The Kasuga Maru (春日丸) was a 17,100 long tons (17,400 t) Japanese ocean liner owned by Nippon Yusen Kaisha. When first launched, this ship was named after an important Shinto shrine.

    The ship was built by Mitsubishi Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. at Nagasaki, Japan. Work on the Kasuga Maru was completed in 1939. The vessel's pre-war design anticipated passenger service; but when work was completed, the onset of war resulted in different priorities.

    The 17,150-ton vessel had a length of 591 feet (180 m), and her beam was 73 feet (22 m). The ship's steam turbines and twin screw propulsion produced an average speed of 18-knots. It was laid down in January 1940 and launched in September of the same year.
