Design
The 9000 series was designed and built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries following the January 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, to replace vehicles damaged by the earthquake. The 9000 series uses a stainless steel design for its body work.

Formation
As of 1 April 2016, five six-car sets (numbered 9201 to 9209) are in service, formed as shown below, with car 1 at the Umeda end. Four cars are powered.
Cars 3 and 4 each have one lozenge-style pantograph.

History
Beginning in 2008, the 9000 series fleet underwent modification for use on Kintetsu Nara Line through services via the Hanshin Namba Line. These changes include an orange colour scheme similar to that of the 1000 series, an electrical connector (Umeda-facing end car only), modified end gangways, and full-colour external LED destination displays. Kintetsu Nara Line through services commenced on 20 March 2009, alongside the opening of the Hanshin Namba Line section between Nishikujo and Namba.
