The train shares some design similarities with the earlier Tokyo Metro 6000 series on the Chiyoda Line and the Tokyo Metro 7000 series on the Fukutoshin Line, mainly the asymmetrical front and bodyshell with some cosmetic changes.
, all of the 19 ten-car sets are refurbished formed as shown below, with car 1 at the Oshiage (northern) end.[2]
