what is it?
The Tokyu 9000 series (Japanese: 東急9000系, Hepburn: Tōkyū 9000-kei) is a Japanese commuter electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation in the Tokyo area of Japan. Introduced into service in March 1986, 14 eight-car sets and a five-car set were built between 1986 and 1991 by Tokyu Car Corporation for use on the Tokyu Toyoko and Oimachi lines. Between 2009 and 2013, the 9000 series sets, allocated to Toyoko Line operations, were transferred to the Oimachi Line.
