Keikyu Corporation (京浜急行電鉄株式会社, Keihin Kyūkō Dentetsu Kabushiki-gaisha) (TYO: 9006), also known as Keihin Kyūkō (京浜急行) or, more recently, Keikyū (京急), is a private railroad that connects inner Tokyo to Kawasaki, Yokohama, Yokosuka and other points on the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture. It also provides rail access to Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Keihin (京浜) means the Tokyo (東京) - Yokohama (横浜) area. The company's railroad origins date back to 1898, but the current company dates to 1948. The railway pioneered Kantō region's first electric train and the nation's third, after Hanshin Electric Railway and Nagoya Electric Railway (Meitetsu) with the opening of a short 2 km (1.2 mi) long section of what later became the Daishi Line in January 1899.[3]
Keikyu's formal logo, adopted in 1964, rarely used in publicity since 1983; today it is mostly found in Keikyu maintenance worker headgear. It is a stylized version of the katakana ヶ
It is a member of the Fuyo Group and has its headquarters in Yokohama.
The company changed its English name from Keihin Electric Express Railway Co., Ltd. to Keikyu Corporation on 21 October 2010.[4]
