The paper was founded by Kikuchi Kenjō, who had just been dismissed from his presidency of another Japanese newspaper in Korea, Kanjō Shinpō. The Daitō Shinpō generally promoted Japanese activities in Korea, although it may have criticized them on occasion. In 1906, the newspaper was purchased by the Japanese Resident-General of Korea Itō Hirobumi and merged with around six other newspapers into the Keijō Nippō.
