The KiHa 40 series (キハ40系, Kiha-yonjū-kei) is a diesel multiple unit (DMU) train type introduced by Japanese National Railways (JNR) in 1977 and operated by all Japan Railways Group companies on suburban and rural services in Japan.[2] Since 2017, the train type has seen use by other private railway companies in Japan, following the removal of services by Japan Railways groups.
