A total of 190 cars (19 ten-car sets) were built between 1980 and 1994 by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kinki Sharyo, Nippon Sharyo, and Tokyu Car Corporation.[2]
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.
As of 2016[update], all of the 19 ten-car sets are refurbished formed as shown below, with car 1 at the Oshiage (northern) end.[3]

The first 8000 series trains were introduced in 1981.[2]
From 2004, a programme of refurbishment commenced, with some sets receiving VVVF control and three-phase motors.[2] In February 2016, set 8114 received full-colour LED destination indicators.[4]
The 8000 series trains began to be replaced by new 18000 series trains from 7 August 2021. The first set to be withdrawn, set 8107, was removed for scrapping on 9 August 2021. [5]
