The trains were built by Tokyu Car Corporation in Yokohama between 1993 and 2001, with the first trains entering service in 1993. A total of 70 cars were built. From 2011, the fleet was gradually repainted into the new corporate livery, and some sets received single-arm pantographs in place of the original lozenge type.

The first set to be treated, 9703, returned to service in April 2016.
