The H100 series (H100形) is a Japanese diesel-electric multiple unit (DEMU) train type introduced by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) to replace the ageing KiHa 40 series DMU cars. The trains are nicknamed "DECMO", standing for "diesel electric car with motors". They commenced passenger operations in March 2020 on the Hakodate Main Line.
