The 107 series (107系?) is a DC electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated on local services by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in Japan since 1988. They were the first EMUs to be built by JR East following the splitting of the former Japanese National Railways (JNR).[3]

107-0 series
Eight 2-car sets (sets N1 to N8) were allocated to Oyama Depot for use on Nikko Line local services.[1] The units entered service on 1 June 1988, and were originally painted in a livery designed by a Tochigi high school student, featuring large green "N" logos on a cream base. A new "retro" livery of brown and cream was introduced from March 2009, with the last train in original livery running until 17 January 2010.[3] The 107-0 series sets were withdrawn from service on the Nikko Line on 15 March 2013.[4]
