Kamata Station in Ota, Tokyo, is jointly used by JR East and Tokyu Corporation. The JR East side opened on 11 April 1904 on what is now the Keihin-Tohoku Line; the Tokyu Ikegami Line side opened on 6 October 1922, and the Tamagawa Line side on 1 November 1923. The JR East station joined the new company at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 and added Suica IC service on 18 November 2001. The Tokyu lines were elevated in two stages in October 1967 and October 1968, and on 6 August 2000 the former Mekama Line was split into the Tamagawa Line and the Meguro Line, leaving Kamata at the end of the Tamagawa Line.

Since 23 February 1997 the JR East departure jingle has been an arrangement of 'Kamata March,' chosen because Shochiku's Kamata film studios once stood near the station.
