No... toradora didn't do anything but follow a trend. What made the popularity of Tsundere was Asuka from evangelion. Claimed to actually be the first official vanilla tsundere (unless of course you count hentai rapey times).
With Evangelion's theme around the hedgehog complex. It created the foundations of the archetype.
Or rather, like all things. It created a interesting characters and was bastardised and dumbed down into a few key traits that created the archetype.

Yeah Eva did, I'm just saying the modern stereotype was influenced heavily by Toradora. Yes Toradora is one of my favorites. Just when you can instantly peg the tsundere character before they even say much of anything, its getting a bit ridiculous. Its like..oh look, super short girl with small top...tsundere in 5, 4, 3, 2...
Think my favorite since is Inami in Working!! Shes a tall girl and so traumatized into hating men due to her father that she beats up just about all she sees. So you have the man hater mixed with tsundere. Then give her super strength thanks to her dad keeping weights in her school bags growing up. Ahh...I want a season 3 of that show so bad. Sadly, her character started a push towards promoting similar man hater characters. All of which were vastly inferior to Inami.

Ok so Kantai Collection is the browser game which has taken Japan by storm right? Right?
I really don't get why this exists when Arpeggio of Blue Steel was much better and way more interesting. The girls don't even turn into the ships they represent, they just do cutesy things with giant cannons and backpacks strapped to their butts.

Because they aren't ships- they are specifically NOT actual ships, they're actual girls; Cyborgs, if you will.
