I don't think Toho is interested in producing Godzilla movies of their own for the time being-- if ever again. It's just not in the cards, especially if Legendary is going to do all the work for them.
Plus, in 1998, I think the agreement was that an American and Japanese Godzilla series can not go on at the same time. Who knows if there's the same deal here, but I doubt it matters since Toho isn't planning on doing that any time soon.

So assuming this DOES become a new series, will Toho...

Something I would find cool for Legendary to do would be to do a "serious" series like they're doing now, and at the same time release "kiddie" kind of G films every December. That would be a really cool way to do these films over here.... now I know this will never happen, just a hope of mine.

If Legendary Godzilla is successful enough to warrant a sequel, then I think we may see Toho make one of their own to ride on the sequel's coattails. They'd, in effect, be doing a "mockbuster" of their own franchise - like, Godzilla 2 in May 2017 and Toho's new Godzilla in November or December 2017.
Technically, it's not a bad idea. Worst case scenario, they'd end up oversaturating the Japanese market. Best case scenario, though, it could be a huge success: HUGE profits from the Legendary/Universal movie, then a smaller bump from their own movie later that year.
The real question is: if they did this, how would they do it? Would they give Suitmation another shot? Or would they follow the American films' lead and go all CGI? What sort of movie could (or should) Toho try to make to maximize coattail hanging? Set it in the same universe or no? Go for a similar tone or something lighter?
I think if it does happen, expect it to be announced the year before Godzilla 2 comes out. Whether or not they make any more probably depends on how that one does, and if it proves profitable enough to be worthwhile.
