Introduced into service on 16 April 1999 on the Tokyu Toyoko Line as a sole eight-car set, a total of 78 vehicles, which would form 13 six-car sets, were built by Tokyu Car Corporation between 1999 and 2001 for use on Tokyu Meguro Line inter-running services to the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, Toei Mita Line, and Saitama Rapid Railway Line. Between 2022 and 2023, 26 cars were built to augment the fleet into eight-car formations ahead of the introduction of Sotetsu line through services via the Tokyu Shin-Yokohama Line.
