The Keihan 10000 series (京阪10000系 Keihan 10000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) commuter train type operated by the private railway operator Keihan Electric Railway in Kyoto, Japan, since 2002.[1]

The 10000 series trains were developed from the earlier 7000 series and 9000 series trains, and have 18,700 mm (61 ft 4 in) long aluminium-body cars each with three pairs of sliding doors per side.[1]

Since 2007, the 10000 series sets are primarily used on Keihan Katano Line driver-only operation services.[1]

As of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of six four-car sets formed as follows, with two motored ("Mc") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.[2]

History
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]
