History
Tosa-Ikku Station opened on 5 December 1925 as an intermediate stop on the then-Kōchi Line (now Dosan Line) when Japanese Government Railways extended the line eastwards and northwards from Kōchi towards Tosa-Yamada. It became unstaffed on 1 October 1970 and now operates as a kan'i itaku simplified-contract station. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Shikoku, which assigned the station the code "D43". Although the Tosa Kuroshio Railway's Asa Line officially terminates at Gomen, all its rapid and some local services continue onto the Dosan tracks and call here on the way to Kōchi. The station also hosts a third track that branches into the JR Shikoku Kōchi Operations Centre depot.

Notes
Tosa-Ikku occasionally lets two limited-expresses pass each other in opposite directions by parking one on the platformless siding to Kōchi Operations Centre while the other one rolls through.
