History
Kadoma-minami Station opened on 29 August 1997 as the eastern terminus of the Osaka Municipal Subway Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line, located 15.0 km from the opposing terminus at Taishō. The single underground island platform between two tracks was retrofitted with platform-edge gates on 31 October 2011. On 1 April 2018 operation passed from Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau to the privately incorporated Osaka Metro, and the station's code is N27. The station also has a future role: an extension of the Osaka Monorail toward Uryūdō is targeted for FY2033, with a transfer station tentatively also called "Kadoma-minami" planned in the vicinity.

Notes
The station's design theme is the camphor tree, taken from the "Kungaisho" tree at nearby Mishima Shrine that is designated a natural monument; tiles laid at the ticket gate echo the tree's growth rings and serve as a compass rose.
