History
A total of six four-car sets were built, with three sets built in 2002 and three in 2006. From 2009, the fleet was repainted into the new Keihan commuter train livery of dark green and white, with the entire fleet treated by 2010.
In February 2015, set 10001 was reformed as a seven-car set by adding two former 9000 series cars (9601 and 9602 from sets 9001 and 9002 respectively) and a former 7200 series car (7301 of set 7201) made surplus when former eight-car sets were reduced to seven cars in 2015.
