History

The first set, 6101, was delivered in December 2007. The first trains entered revenue-earning service on 28 March 2008.
Six new DeHa 6300 intermediate cars were delivered from the J-TREC factory in Yokohama in August 2017. These will be used to lengthen the fleet of six trainsets to seven cars each between November 2017 and March 2018.
Two "Q-Seat" DeHa 6300 intermediate cars were delivered in 2019; the two vehicles are numbered DeHa 6301 and DeHa 6302 and have replaced the original DeHa 6300 cars that were used to lengthen sets 6101 and 6102. The first 6000 series-operated "Q-Seat" reserved-seat service ran on 28 May 2019. The outgoing cars were stored at J-TREC's Yokohama facility until 2021, when they were repurposed to aid in lengthening the Meguro Line 5080 series sets to eight cars.
