History
The station first opened on 1 May 1934 as Tōbu Horinouchi Station (東武堀之内駅?). This station was destroyed by fire on 14 April 1945 during Bombing of Tokyo in World War II, forcing its use to be suspended from 20 May, and then formally closed on 19 August 1947.[4] The station reopened as Kita-Ikebukuro Station on 1 September 1951.[2]
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Kita-Ikebukuro Station becoming "TJ-02".[5]

In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 8,507 passengers daily.[6]
