KIHA 82-900 emerged by converting the top car of the first version of KIRO 80 from1968 onwards. This version features the window layout it had when it was used as a 1st class (green) car. After it was operated as the limited expresses “ Inaho”, “Tsubasa” and “Hitachi”, it was transferred to Hokkaido where it ran as “Okhotsk” and “Hokuto”.
Both of these contributed greatly to the modernization of passenger train transport by building up a network of JR limited expresses.
