The 100 series (100系) was a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train type which operated between 1984 and 2012 on the Tokaido Shinkansen and Sanyo Shinkansen high-speed lines. They were introduced after the 200 series trains but their numbering is such because in the days of Japanese National Railways (JNR) Shinkansen types running east of Tokyo were given even numbers and those west of Tokyo odd numbers hence they were given the next odd number in line after 0 100.
