A total of 11 10-car sets were built between 2004 and 2006 by Hitachi It was based on the Tokyo Metro 05 series 13th-batch (sets 05-140 to 05-143) design, but features a different headlight arrangement.
The driver's handle is a single handle controlled by left hand and it has a dead man system. The partition between the driver's cab and passenger saloon has three windows. Two of the windows are usually screened by curtains on the Tōzai Line, but one window is left unobstructed so passengers can look the view ahead even on subway tracks.
