History
Set 10001 in original teal livery

A total of six four-car sets were built, with three sets built in 2002 and three in 2006.[1] 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.[1]

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.[3]
