The Tokyo Monorail 10000 series (東京モノレール10000形, Tōkyō Monorēru 10000-gata) is a monorail electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo Monorail on the Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line in Japan since July 2014.[2]
The body design is based on the earlier 2000 series trains first built in 1997, and uses friction stir welded (FSW) aluminium alloy panels.[3]
As of 1 April 2023[update], the fleet consists of eight six-car sets, numbered 10011 to 10081, and formed as shown below, with four motored ("M") cars and two non-powered trailer ("T") cars.[2] Car 1 is at the Hamamatsucho end.[2][4]

Passenger accommodation consists of a mixture of facing 4-seat bays and longitudinal bench seating, and includes luggage racks next to the doorways.[3] The seats are covered in a blue moquette incorporating the traditional Japanese seigaiha (青海波) pattern.[3] LED lighting is used throughout.[3] Passenger information is provided by 7-inch wide LCD displays above the doorways.[3] Information is provided in four languages: Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean. Initially one screen is provided above each doorway, but provision is made for installing a second screen in the future.[3]
The first set, 10011, was delivered to Tokyo Monorail's Showajima Depot in March 2014.[5] It entered revenue service on 18 July 2014.[6]
On 31 May 2022, structural cracks were discovered on seven 10000 series trainsets, causing a reduction in peak-hour service from every four minutes to every five minutes.[7] The cracks were mainly found on an aluminum part which connects the body of the vehicle to the bogie.
