The Tokyo Monorail 10000 series (東京モノレール10000形, Tōkyō Monorēru 10000-gata) is a monorail electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the Tokyo Monorail on the Tokyo Monorail Haneda Airport Line in Japan since July 2014.[3]

The body design is based on the earlier 2000 series trains first built in 1997, and uses friction stir welded (FSW) aluminum alloy panels.[4]

Structural damage
On 31 May 2022, structural cracks were discovered on seven 10000 series trainsets, causing a reduction in peak-hour service from every four minutes to every five minutes.[8] The cracks were mainly found on an aluminum part which connects the body of the vehicle to the bogie.
