History
The line was extended to Komyoike on 20 August 1977, and to Izumi-Chuo on 1 April 1995.
Owing to ongoing financial constraints caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Semboku Rapid Railway announced that it would be merged into Nankai Railway. The merger took place on 1 April 2025. In addition, the line was renamed to the Semboku Line. Stations were renumbered to NK88 at Fukai through NK92 at Izumi-Chūō.
