The is a suburban electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku) in Shikoku, Japan, since 1996.[1]
The cars have stainless steel bodies and cab ends based on the 211 series/213 series design.[1] The doors immediately behind the driving cabs are single-leaf instead of the pairs of doors used at other locations.[1]
The sets are based at Takamatsu Depot, and operate on the Yosan Line and Dosan Line. Sets can run in multiple with single-car 7000 series EMU trailer cars to form 4-car sets.[1]
The two 3-car sets are formed as shown below with the motored "Mc" cars at the Takamatsu end.[2] [3]

| Capacity (total/seated) | 131/56 | 136/52 | 131/56 |
The "Mc" cars are each fitted with two lozenge-type pantographs.[2]
The motored 6000 cars are mounted on bolsterless S-DT62 bogies, and the non-powered 6100 and 6200 trailer cars are mounted on S-TR62 bogies.[3]
Seating accommodation consists of transverse seating with backs that can be flipped over to face the direction of travel.[3]
The two trains were delivered from Nippon Sharyo in March 1996, and entered revenue service on 26 April 1996.[2]
