In light of speculation ( https://blueplastictracks.com/showthread.php?tid=118&pid=62525#pid62525 ) that a new Hopper Wagon may appear in the Plarail KF- series of wagons sometime in the not too distant future, I've drawn together some information about an existing Plarail wagon on which it could be based.
The black hopper wagon in question is a JNR SeMu 8000 (セム8000) type coal hopper.
This has been the subject of several previous discussions on BPT:

So I'll just summarise.
The wagon was released as part of two Tomica Big Loader sets in 2011. The two sets could be linked together to form one gigantic Big Loader layout. Although there was no Plarail rail included in either set, you did get a Plarail SeMu 8000 in each one.
