The {{Nihongo|'''Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line'''|東京地下鉄副都心線|Tōkyō Chikatetsu Fukutoshin-sen}}, formerly known as {{Nihongo|'''Tokyo Metro Line 13'''|東京地下鉄13号線|Tōkyō Chikatetsu Jūsangō-sen}}, is a [[Tokyo Metro]] [[Metro|subway]] line currently under construction in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]].  A 3.2&nbsp;km segment from [[Kotake-Mukaihara]] to [[Ikebukuro]], running parallel to the [[Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line|Yurakucho Line]] on separate tracks and known as the {{Nihongo|'''Yurakucho New Line'''|有楽町新線|Yūrakuchō Shin-sen}}, is already in operation.

The section presently under construction will connect to [[Shinjuku]] and [[Shibuya]] via [[Zoshigaya]], [[Sendagaya]] and [[Meiji Shrine]], with service scheduled to start in June [[2008]].  Through services to Kawagoe-shi station on the [[Tōbu Tōjō Main Line]], and Hanno station on the [[Seibu Ikebukuro Line]] will be offered. Starting in [[2012]], the [[Tokyu Toyoko Line]] will move to share the line's Shibuya terminus and offer through services on the [[Minato Mirai Line]] to [[Motomachi Chūkagai Station]], in [[Yokohama]].

==Development==
[[Image:CIMG2273.JPG|thumb|Construction underway on the Fukutoshin Line in northern Shibuya]]
''Fukutoshin'' is [[Japanese language|Japanese]] for "secondary city center," and the Fukutoshin Line connects three of Tokyo's secondary city centers: [[Ikebukuro]], [[Shinjuku]] and [[Shibuya]]. Presently, only [[East Japan Railway Company|JR East]] has rail service between the three (on the [[Yamanote Line]] and [[Saikyo Line]]). The new line was conceived to relieve congestion along this busy corridor, and to provide convenient through service between the northwest of Tokyo, the southwest of Tokyo and the city center.

The line was initially planned in [[1972]] as a run from [[Shiki, Saitama]] to Shinjuku, with the possibility of further extension to Shibuya, [[Shinagawa Station|Shinagawa]] and [[Tokyo International Airport|Haneda Airport]]. In [[1985]], a second Ministry of Transportation committee proposed that the line terminate at Shibuya. Part of the northern end of the original plan line became unnecessary following improvements to the [[Tobu Tojo Line]] and the beginning of through service from the [[Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line|Yurakucho Line]].
