Introduced into service in 1993, a total of six 10-car sets were manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Nippon Sharyo between 1993[verification needed] and 1994 for use on the Tokyo Metro Yūrakuchō Line.

From 2006, the sets were permanently transferred to the Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line to replace ageing 5000 series trainsets.

The six 10-cars sets, numbered 71 to 76, are formed as shown below, with car 1 at the west (Nishi-Funabashi) end.

[6] Refurbishment of the 07 series has been completed as of May 2022, however, some sets continue to receive new front skirts.
