The 107 series (107系) is a DC electric multiple unit 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 Japan National Railways (JNR).[3]

Eight 2-car sets (sets N1 to N8) 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]
Nineteen 2-car sets (R1 to R19) were delivered to Takasaki Depot between November 1988 and February 1991 for use on Ryomo Line, Agatsuma Line, Jōetsu Line, and Shinetsu Line local services. Livery is all-over cream with green and pink lining. Sets from R6 onward have no door pocket windows.[1]
