The Fujikyu 6000 series (富士急行6000系 Fuji Kyūkō 6000-kei?) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Fuji Kyuko (Fujikyu) on the Fujikyuko Line in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, since February 2012. A total of four three-car trains were introduced during fiscal 2011 and 2012, converted from former JR East 205 series EMU cars.[1]

Design
Converted from former JR East 205 series EMU cars, the exterior and interior design of the 3-car 6000 series EMUs was overseen by industrial designer Eiji Mitooka.[1] The second set to enter service, 6001, uses LED lighting throughout.[2]
The first set, 6501, was converted from full-production 205 series cars, and has single-pane passenger windows, while subsequent sets (6001 onward) were converted from pre-production 205 series cars and have two-pane passenger windows.[3]

History
Conversion
The first set of three former Keiyo Line 205 series cars was transferred in unpainted form from JR East's Nagano Works to the Fujikyuko Line in October 2011. Modifications involved transplanting a driving cab onto a former intermediate motored car, the provision of LED destination indicators, and passenger-operated door buttons.[7]
The second set (former Keiyo Line set KeYo 25) was transferred to the Fujikyuko Line in January 2012.[6]
Driver training commenced in February 2012, with the units still in unpainted form.[8]
Entry into service
The first set entered revenue service on 29 February 2012 (a date which can be read as fu-ji-kyu in Japanese).[4] A formal debut event was staged on 18 March 2012, from which date, set 6501 also entered revenue service.[2]
