The Kodama trains on the Sanyo Shinkansen (Shin-Osaka - Hakata) are the ones with the former green car seats in coach, they are using soon to be retired original 0 series shinkansens and 100 series shinkansen.
However, the regular Kodama trains from Tokyo-Shin-Osaka use regular train sets (mainly 300 series and sometimes 700 series) that the Hikari and sometimes Nozomi services use.
