Tohatsu makes other brands like some Mercurys. Also just saw a 150hp (or maybe a 175) Tohatsu that the dealer claimed was the same as a Honda and it looked exactly like a Honda just a different color.

WHen I was looking for a kicker a few years back the mercury 9.9 was the same as a Tohatsu 9.9 BUT the throttle linkage was different so my autopilot throttle control would not fit.

Im sure there are a few smaller differences but for the most part they are likely the same.

Johnsons I think were made by Suzuki.
