First introduced in 1981, the design is based on the earlier Kintetsu 3000 series commuter train, also manufactured by Kinki Sharyo.

All trains are equipped with longitudinal seating and automatic announcements in both Japanese and English. All trainsets run on standard gauge 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in), except for the 6600 series which run on 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge on the Minami Osaka Line.

Variants edit

  • 1200 series: 4-car sets primarily used on the Nagoya Line
  • 1201 series: 2-car sets primarily used on the Nagoya Line equipped for wanman driver-only operation
  • 1400 series: 4-car sets primarily used on the Nagoya Line
  • 2050 series: 3-car sets primarily used on the Nagoya Line
  • 6600 series: 2-car narrow-gauge sets primarily used on the Minami Osaka Line network
