こよ

こよ is the volitional form of くる — to come (spatially or temporally), to approach, to arrive.
- to come back, to do ... and come back
- to come to be, to become, to get, to grow, to continue
How it’s built
Volitional form (意志推量形). “Let’s …” or “I’ll …”: 書こう (let’s write). With とする it means “try to”.
くる is a irregular verb (来る), so it follows that pattern.
