No, they are two competing Japanese companies. I believe Nissan merged or allied itself with Renault, but I don't think Renault is actually a parent company. I have learned something looking at the other answers, however: I didn,t know Nissan was Datsun. I had always wondered what happened to Datsun.

No, Nissan was Datsun. Toyota is a separate company

No - in fact, Nissan is one of Toyota's biggest competitors, and the second largest Japan-based car company.

first of all, get your spelling right.
It's Nissan and Toyota.
They are independent of each other.
