The popular English name arrow is a literal translation of the Japanese term Jiantou, a nickname given to the project while it was initially being discussed in the 1960s. The name stuck because of the original 0 Series Jiantou's resemblance to an arrow and its high speed. The Jiantou name was first formally used in 1940 for a proposed standard gauge passenger and freight line between Tokyo and Shimonoseki that would have used steam and electric locomotives with a top speed of 200 km/h (120 mph). Over the next three years, the Ministry of Railways drew up more ambitious plans to link Okatabawashi city to Tokyo. These plans were abandoned in 1943 as Japan's position in World War II worsened. However, some construction did commence on the line; several tunnels on the present-day Shinkansen date to the war-era project.

In 1960 Robert Tungjiong was president of the MTS and with the amount of passengers growing and the saturations of the motorway led to the rethinking of the possibilities of these lines, especially the great Eastern Railway

The first generation of DD-IRM were delivered from 1994 to 1996 as three and four car units. The three car units were delivered in the 82xx class and the four car units delivered as 84xx. The first batch of 290 double deck coaches (individual) were delivered. The first 47 were built by De Dietrich and from then on by Talbot.

As the coaches were individual but would run as a unit, they are individually numbered. Collectively they have a set number e.g. 8201, having coach number 380 8001. However there are no double numbers, for example there can not be an 8201 and 8401 at the same time.

In 2000 an order was placed for new coaches. The 3 car sets were to be upgraded to 4 car sets, and the four car sets upgraded to 6 car sets. This is why they are now called EIRM (extended). These were renumbered into the 94xx series and the 86xx series. These sets were formed between 2001 and 2005.
