History
The 06 series set at Shinkiba Depot in September 2015 awaiting scrapping

Built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries,[5] the ten-car set was delivered in December 1992, and entered service in March 1993. From January 2015, the set was removed from regular service.[4] It was moved to Shinkiba Depot in August 2015,[4] where cutting up commenced in September 2015.[6]

The IGBT-VVVF by Toshiba was delivered when new as a test train, possibly making the first train in the world to be powered by IGBT.
