The JR Shikoku 8000 Series is a DC limited express train introduced by JR Shikoku in 1992. It features a controlled natural pendulum system and comes in both 5-car and 3-car formations, including non-penetrating and penetrating front cars. These formations can operate independently or combined as a 5-car and 3-car set. From 1993, mass-produced cars were introduced, and in 2004, significant interior and exterior renovations took place. From 2023 onwards, further updates and paint changes were implemented, enabling the series to continue evolving and operating to this day.
