The 521-100 series (521系100番台) was announced by JR West in September 2019 as a successor to the 413 and 415 series sets used on the Nanao Line.[8] Fifteen 2-car sets (U01–U15) were built between 2019 and 2020 by Kinki Sharyo,[9][10] with the first three sets (U01–U03) being delivered in December 2019.[9] Three additional sets for IR Ishikawa Railway (IR06–IR08) were delivered on 3 December 2020.[11]

Unlike older JR West 521 series sets, the 521-100 series sets feature red waistline striping, inspired by Wajima-nuri lacquerware and matching the body colour of the older 413 and 415 series sets. Internally, the 521-100 series sets use LED lighting throughout.[8]

The 521-100 series sets entered revenue service on 3 October 2020.[12]
