The is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku) in Shikoku, Japan, since November 1990.[1]
The sets are based at Takamatsu and Matsuyama depots, and operate on the Yosan Line and Dosan Line.[2] The 7000 series can operate as single-car sets, but the 7100 subseries is single-ended, and must be operated coupled with another 7000 series unit. The sets are designed for use on wanman driver only operation services.[2]
As of 1 April 2012, the fleet consists of 25 7000 series motored cars and 11 7100 series trailer cars.[2]

The "cMc" (7000 series) cars are fitted with one S-PS58 lozenge-type pantograph. The "Tc" (7100 series) trailer cars have no pantographs and can not operate alone.[2]
Seating accommodation consists of longitudinal bench seating on one side and transverse seating on the other side of each car, in a similar style to the JR Shikoku 1000 series diesel units.
The bogies use a bolsterless design based on the standard 205 series EMU bogies, designated S-DT58 for the motored 7000 series cars, and S-TR58 for the trailer 7100 series cars.[3]
The 7000 series trains were first introduced from 21 November 1990.[2]
