Release
Broadcast
Kamen Rider Wizard aired on TV Asahi in Japan from September 2, 2012 to September 29, 2013.
International
From 2015 to 2016, the series was dubbed in English and aired in Singapore on MediaCorp Okto as Kamen Rider Wizard .
On April 1, 2017, TV Japan began broadcasting the series in the United States and Canada to paid subscribers.[14] [15] [16]
Notes
With 53 episodes in total (including 2 post-finale episodes which serve as the TV special), Kamen Rider Wizard is considered the longest Heisei-era Rider series in history, beating Kamen Rider Agito 's record of 51 episodes. If the specials didn't count as episodes, however, then Wizard's episode count record would have been tied with Agito's.
In this title series, the Kamen Riders are often called "magicians " (魔法使い , mahōtsukai ) , save for a crossover movie.
This is the first series to have the opening be sung by a male singer since Kamen Rider Decade .
This was the last Kamen Rider Series until Kamen Rider Build to premiere in September.
