history
The company was founded on September 2, 1922 as Meguro Kamata Dentetsu ( 目 黒 蒲 田 電 鉄 , English Meguro-Kamata Electric Railway ), and later renamed the Tōkyō Yokohama Dentetsu ( 東京 横 浜 電 鉄 , English Tokyo-Yokohama Electric Railway ). In 1942 it was united in the course of the concentration of train and bus companies for the war with the Odakyū Dentetsu and the Keihin Denki Tetsudō, in 1944 the Keiō Denki Kidō was added. It also took over operations on some other routes. In 1944, the company's founder Gotō Keita himself became Minister of Transport and Communication. During this time it was colloquially called "Dai-Tōkyū" ("Great Tōkyū"). In 1948 the Dai-Tōkyū was smashed again in the course of the smashing of the Zaibatsu by the GHQ and the Katayama cabinet from 1947: the Keiō Teito Dentetsu , the Odakyū Dentetsu and the Keihin Kyūkō Dentetsu became independent companies.
