The Nankai 12000 series (南海12000系, Nankai 12000-kei) is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Nankai Electric Railway in Japan on Southern Premium limited express services between Namba and Wakayamashi since September 2011. Two 4-car trainsets were delivered, replacing the older 10000 series sets.
The Semboku 12000 series (泉北12000系, Senboku 12000-kei) is a very similar train type, introduced by the private railway operator Semboku Rapid Railway, a former Nankai subsidiary, for use on Semboku Liner limited express services in Osaka Prefecture. One 4-car trainset was delivered in 2016 and entered revenue service on 27 January 2017.
