Overseas sales slipped 0.1 % to 8,768,464 units, the first fall in four years.
In China, where competition with local manufacturers is intensifying, Toyota's sales fell 5.9 %.
Toyota's global vehicle production sagged 2.9 % to 9,679,470 units, the first drop in four years.
Of them, domestic output fell 2.2 % to 3,236,420 units.
