This paper discusses Japanese to acting as equivalence marker between two nouns. To be concrete, I compare and analyze equivalence marker to and quotation marker to : despite abundant of reserches, no consensus conclusion has been reached. In comparing to quotation marker to and equivalence marker to, this paper indicates following phenomena as its grammatical evidence; whether or not to takes only nouns, whether or not to collocates with copula da, whether or not tono can be formed of each to. This paper further look into ni and to regarded as result marker to indicate to acts as a equivalence marker.
