The E2-1000 series was developed in 2001 for the opening of the Tohoku Shinkansen Hachinohe extension, based on the previous E2-0 series.
Compared to the E2-0 series, this model features enlarged side windows and single-arm pantographs. From the series introduced in 2010, the side destination display was enlarged and changed to a full-color display.
From March 2012, it operated alongside the E3 series “Tsubasa” of the Yamagata Shinkansen, replacing the former E4 series on routes between Tokyo and Fukushima. Currently, it is primarily operated on the Tohoku Shinkansen “Nasuno.”
