The trains are manufactured by Hitachi with aluminium bodies to its "A-train" concept.
The 10000 series was the first new model to be built for the Tokyo Metro following privatization. The front-end design is intended to evoke the appearance of the 300 series trains, which were the first trains used on the Marunouchi Line.[2]
On set numbers 10105 onward, built from 2007, the gold colour line was omitted on the front ends.
The trains were designed to allow 2 intermediate cars (cars 5 and 6) to be removed easily to create 8-car sets when through-running commences from the Fukutoshin Line to the Tokyu Toyoko Line in 2013. From 7 September 2012, five sets (10101 to 10105) were reformed as 8-car sets to cover a shortage in 8-car 7000 series trainsets. These sets are identified by the addition of "8 CARS" stickers on the cab windows.[3] They were introduced on Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line services, several months before the planned start of through-running operations.[4] Once the shortage in 8-car 7000 series trainsets was over these 8-car sets were subsequently reformed back into 10-car sets.

History
The first set was delivered in May 2006, and entered service on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Tobu Tojo Line in September 2006,[6] allowing four 07 series sets to be transferred to the Tozai Line to replace the remaining 5000 series sets.[1]: 68 10000 series sets entered service on the Seibu Line in February 2007. At the start of Fukutoshin Line services in June 2008, a total of 22 sets had been delivered.[6] And as of 1 April 2015, the fleet consists of 36 ten-car sets.
8-car 10000 series sets entered service on the Tokyu Toyoko Line and Minatomirai Line from 7 September 2012.[4] These 8-car sets were subsequently reformed back into 10-car sets.
From April 2016, the original three-colour LED destination indicator panels on some sets were replaced with full-colour LED indicator panels.[7]
