Two former Kintetsu 12200 series 2-car EMU sets (Mo 12241 + Ku 12341 and Mo 12242 + Ku 12342) were rebuilt in 2011 to become new 15400 series sets. These are repainted in a new dark green livery with gold lining.[1]
The two 2-car sets are formed as follows, with the Mo 15400 car at the Osaka end.[1][3][4]

The Mc cars are fitted with two PT42 lozenge-type pantographs.[4]
Passenger accommodation consists of pairs of rotating, reclining seats, arranged 2+2 abreast with a seat pitch of 980 mm (39 in).[4] The rebuilt trains feature carpeted floors and new toilets with heated seats.[3]
The 15400 series train was officially unveiled in a ceremony at Ōsaka Uehommachi Station on 15 December 2011, at which the train's new name, "Kagirohi", was also announced.[5]
The train is scheduled to enter revenue service from 23 December 2011.[3]
