Offering a clean, efficient and reliable way of commuting to work and moving across the city for tourists, a single train can accommodate over 1,500 passengers in a 10-car formation.
The 10000 series was conceived in 2004 as a new generation train that would look towards the future as well as being safer and more reliable than previous designs.
The first set entered service in September 2006; more sets were later built and put into service progressively. The 10000 series sets were the first trains to be ordered by the then-newly formed Tokyo Metro.
In addition to being used on the Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō and Fukutoshin Lines, the sets are also used for through-running through to and from the Tobu Tōjō Line, Seibu Yūrakuchō and Ikebukuro Line, Tokyu Tōyoko Line, and Yokohama Minatomirai Laine.
