A total of 43 10-car trainsets were built from 1988 to 2004, with a number of variants. Sets 05-125 onward have a redesigned front end, and are called "05N series". Sets 05-114 to 05-118 have wide doors. A further four sets were due to be built, but the plan was changed to use 07 series transferred from the Yurakucho Line, so no further 05 series trains were built.
The master controller includes a deadman system in which the brakes are applied if the driver releases the master controller. The partition between the driver's cab and passenger saloon has three windows. Two of the windows are usually screened by curtains on the Tozai Line, but one window is left unobstructed so passengers can look the view ahead even on subway tracks.

Refurbishment
In December 2012, set 05-114 underwent "type B" refurbishment, with a number of improvements utilizing features on the newer 15000 series sets. The traction motors were replaced with new PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), as used on the Chiyoda Line 16000 series sets, and internally, 17-inch LCD passenger information screens were added above the doorways.
