The {{nihongo|'''205 series'''|205系|205-kei}} is a DC [[electric multiple unit]] (EMU) commuter train type introduced in 1985 by [[Japanese National Railways]] (JNR), and inherited by JR East and JR West after JNR was privatised two years later. It is currently operated by [[East Japan Railway Company]] (JR East), [[West Japan Railway Company]] (JR West), [[Fuji Kyuko]] (Fujikyu) in Japan and [[Kereta Commuter Indonesia|KAI Commuter]] in Indonesia. Some of them were re-designated as [[Fujikyu 6000 series|Fujikyuko Series 6000]].

The 205 series was designed in 1982 as a cheap-to-produce train that could complement the [[201 series]] sets which were considered to be expensive to produce due to the latter's thyristor chopper-controlled traction systems. The first set entered service on the Yamanote Line on 1985. It was originally built with resistor-controlled traction systems, which were cheaper to produce than the typical thyristor chopper-controlled, but this was somewhat dated technology due to the advent of [[Variable-frequency drive|variable-frequency drives]] which had just started being used around this time. It uses a traditional design with an unpainted stainless steel body very much like most trains of the period. Each set has a different colour scheme to indicate which area the sets serve.

The 205 series was used on both JR East and JR West lines, and the 205–0 series will be finally ending operation in JR East on 2020. Following their retirement, 524 205–0 series vehicles were shipped to Jakarta, Indonesia from 2013 to 2020 to continue their operation overseas replacing aging commuter trains and mass improvement of public transportation in Greater Jakarta by train, while there are still 205–0 series operational on JR West lines.

The 205 series was manufactured from 1984 to 1991 and initially built as 10-car trainsets with a test-run conducted in 1984 for the JNR [[Yamanote Line]]. It was manufactured by [[J-TREC|Tokyu Car Corporation]], [[Hitachi]] for technical components, [[Nippon Sharyo]], [[Kinki Sharyo]], and [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries]]. The basic structure is similar to that of the subsequently manufactured vehicles such as the [[201 series]] and the [[203 series]], with the difference that the window shape is a two-pane window panels with the upper stage descending and the lower stage rising. 205 series trainsets from all four manufacturers were introduced to the Yamanote line in March 1985. In 1991, the Saha 204-0 was introduced as a 6-door intermediate carriage for the Yamanote Line and assigned as the new car No. 10 which was then coupled to form 11-car Yamanote Line trainsets from December 1991.

In 2005, the Saha 204 intermediate carriages, were transferred to the Saikyo Line upon retirement from Yamanote Line. Some of the existing Yamanote Line 205 series were transferred to the Keiyo line to continue operation until 2011. The trip number indicator of each leading car was initially introduced as a traditional roller-binding display as commonly used by other JNR rolling stocks, but in 1985 a LCD type trip number indicator display was installed for the first time to be later installed on the 0-subseries mass-produced vehicles.

The 205-500 series 4-car sets were introduced into service by [[JR East]] on the [[Sagami Line]] in 1991, when the line was fully electrified. These sets featured a number of design changes over the original 205 series, such as passenger-operable doors as well as a revamped front-end design.<ref name="jrf 1991-03 jr205500">{{Cite magazine |date=March 1991 |title= |script-title=ja:相模線用205系500番台登場 |trans-title=Introducing the 205-500 series for the Sagami Line |url=https://railf-library.jp/user/content/epubview?name=rf1991_03&index=42 |magazine=[[Japan Railfan Magazine]] |language=ja |location=Japan |publisher=Koyusha Co., Ltd. |volume=31 |issue=359 |pages=72–73 |access-date=2022-05-15}} {{Subscription required}}</ref> Following the introduction of the newer [[E131-500 series]] trains, all sets were withdrawn from service by February 2022.<ref name=":0" />
