I have to say, that's not bad at all.

 

It looks like a mix between the Tokyo Metro 16000 series and the Sapporo Subway 5000 series, wich seems a bit ironical, as the 16000 series replaced the Chiyoda line 6000 series (1971), wich was the base for the current Kyoto Subway 10 series trains (1983).
