The real thing
A diesel railcar introduced by Japanese National Railways in 1977 for suburban and rural lines without electric wires. 888 vehicles were built up to 1983, and they passed to the Japan Railways Group companies when JNR was privatised. Some have since gone to private railways in Japan and to Myanmar and Thailand.
