History
Keikyū Kawasaki Station opened on 1 September 1902 as Kawasaki Station (second use of the name) on the Keihin Electric Railway. It was renamed Keihin Kawasaki on 1 November 1925 to avoid confusion with the JGR Kawasaki Station nearby. The Main Line tracks were elevated on 10 December 1966, when a new Daishi Line platform group opened beneath them at ground level, and the station took its current name on 1 June 1987. A schedule revision on 31 July 1999 ended through services from Keisei and Toei Asakusa terminating here, replacing them with services to Haneda Airport. Numbering on 21 October 2010 added KK20, and platform-edge doors entered service on platforms 4–7 over 25 April and 25 June 2020.
