History
Yotsugi opened on 3 November 1912 on what is now the Keisei Oshiage Line in Katsushika, Tokyo. The station was relocated to its present site in 1923 to make way for excavation of the Arakawa Flood Channel. After a January 1991 incident in which a tanker struck the old Arakawa girder bridge and broke the rails, plans to replace the bridge and elevate the section between Yotsugi and Yotsuhiro (then Arakawa) were finalised; the upbound line was switched to viaduct in 1997 and the station itself was shifted slightly north and raised in 1999 to accommodate the new dyke-top alignment. Tie-ins with the local anime Captain Tsubasa were rolled out across 2019.

Notes
Since March 2019 the train-approach jingle on both platforms has been a re-arranged version of the Captain Tsubasa theme tune Moete Hero, and announcements are voiced by cast members of the 2018 anime adaptation, in tribute to creator Yōichi Takahashi's Katsushika roots.
