Kamen Rider Wizard in his standard form known as "Flame Style".

Kamen Rider Wizard (仮面ライダーウィザード Kamen Raidā Wizādo) is the primary and eponymous protagonist of the 2012-2013 Kamen Rider Series Kamen Rider Wizard. Kamen Rider Wizard is stated to be the first magic-using Kamen Rider of the franchise.[1] Kamen Rider Wizard makes his debut appearance in Kamen Rider Fourze the Movie: Space, Here We Come!, where he comes to the aid of Kamen Riders Fourze and Meteor when they are overwhelmed with the appearance of the 12 Horoscopes.

Haruto Soma

Haruto Soma (操真 晴人 Sōma Haruto, portrayed by Shunya Shiraishi) was among the numerous individuals blessed with the potential to perform magic, called Gates. A former soccer player, he abandoned his dream of turning pro when he injured his best friend and teammate, Kazuya, during a tryout. As a child, he was forced to watch his parents die after they were badly wounded in a car crash. But the promise he made to his parents to keep hope alive in his heart saved Haruto's life years later when he was among the Gates sacrificed during a solar eclipse to create Phantoms. Able to keep his inner Phantom from tearing him apart from the inside through sheer willpower, Haruto was one of the very few to have survived the ritual and emerged with the ability to perform magic. Haruto receives the Wizardriver from the White Wizard who saved him from the Phantom Lizardman, enabling him to combat the Phantoms as Wizard.

Motivated to give hope and save people from despair, Haruto took residence in Omokagedō to be provided with more Wizard Rings and, during the events of Kamen Rider Fourze the Movie: Space, Here We Come!, christens himself a Kamen Rider when inspired by Kamen Rider Fourze's definition of the title. Often misunderstood by others, Haruto now finds his mundane life boring now that he must fight the Phantoms while giving people hope. However, he finds solace in his love of doughnuts.[2] In time, Haruto gained two more allies: a rookie detective named Rinko Daimon and a young man named Shunpei Nara. When Haruto first meets the Phantom Phoenix, sensing his inner Phantom, he obtains a new ring that allows him to use his inner Phantom's power. Though Wizardragon warned him of the dangers of manifesting his power in the physical world, Haruto's retort muses the Phantom as he gives his human self the power to defeat Phoenix. Eventually gaining another ally in Kosuke Nito, Kamen Rider Beast, Haruto gains the means to use Wizardragon's power in all four Styles prior to obtaining the Drago Timer to fully utilize Wizardragon's full power and defeat Phoenix. Haruto also encounters Mayu Inamori, the twin sister of the woman whom the Phantom Medusa was born from, who the White Wizard took under his wing to learn magic after restraining her inner Phantom.

Later, when the Phantom Legion attacks his Underworld and destroys Wizardragon from the inside, Haruto is rendered a normal human until watching Koyomi almost get killed caused him to regain his magic while using resulting the Infinity Ring that was created to destroy Legion and save Koyomi's life. Soon after, learning that Gremlin is actually Sora Takigawa in mind, Haruto is told of the Phantoms' leader Wiseman and the Philosopher's Stone while becoming troubled when told by the Phantom that Koyomi being able to survive spawning a Phantom is very unlikely.

Soon after an attempt to confront the stronger Wiseman that Haruto encounters Kazuya and reconciles with him prior to encountering Fueki, the White Wizard. With Mayu's return as Kamen Rider Mage, Haruto soon begins to question Fueki's agenda when later abducts Yuzuru Iijima, Kazaki, and Koyomi. Though Haruto feels he still could trust him when he learns he is Koyomi's father, giving his Infinity Ring to Mayu to exchange for her Holy Ring, Haruto is devastated to learn that Fueki is also Wiseman when he kills Medusa and claims Yamamoto. Confronting Fueki while learning that Koyomi is only a vessel of the original animated by the Philosopher's Stone, defeated by a mind-controlled Yamamoto, Haruto learns that he has been using the Phantoms to get three additional wizards to begin a new Sabbath that would fully revive Koyomi as Fueki attempted to do with the last one.

Though he accepted it at first if it meant saving Koyomi, Haruto is horrified to learn that Fueki intends to sacrifice everyone in Tokyo to ensure he succeeds. Luckily, Nito releases Beast Chimera to negate the Sabbath and Haruto confronts Fueki before he escapes. Finding Koyomi as she returns his Infinity Ring to him, Haruto is stopped from reviving her at her request so she can rest in peace and is instead made to promise to take the Philosopher's Stone far away so no one else would suffer.

However, while fighting Fueki, Haruto ends up watching Koyomi being killed by Sora as he claims the stone for himself. Shutting himself at Omokagedō as Sora proceeds to rampage the city, Haruto regains his composure and confronts the Phantom. Telling Sora they are not the same as he looks towards the future instead of the past, Haruto manages to get the Philosopher's Stone as it transforms into the Hope Ring that he uses to defeat the Phantom. Some time later, Haruto leaves Tokyo to honor his promise to Koyomi by hiding the Hope Ring in a place no one would ever find it.

Kamen Rider Wizard

By wearing one of the Transformation Wizard Rings and swinging his left hand in front of the Grimoire Stone kept within the Hand Author on the Wizardriver belt, Haruto can transform into the mystically-powered Kamen Rider Wizard, who is also referred to as the "Ringed Wizard" (指輪の魔法使い Yubiwa no Mahōtsukai). Depending on the Transformation Ring used, Kamen Rider Wizard can transform into a different Style (スタイル Sutairu). After Haruto transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard, he says "Now, it's showtime!" (さあ、ショータイムだ! Saa, shōtaimu da!) and when Wizard executes one of his finishers, he says "The finale!" (フィナーレだ! Fināre da!). His finishing attack is a Rider Kick called the Strike Wizard (ストライクウィザード Sutoraiku Wizādo), a corkscrew side kick enhanced by the power of the element presently wielded.[2] Kamen Rider Wizard can also access Wizardragon's power to enhance his Styles into Dragon (ドラゴン Doragon) forms. Unlike his other Style Changes, Haruto gains access to these forms after he confronts his inner self, Wizardragon, in his own Underworld. Wizardragon told Haruto that using a Dragon form will hasten his fall into despair. In Dragon forms, Strike Wizard become more powerful to perform the Dragon Strike Wizard (ドラゴンストライクウィザード Doragon Sutoraiku Wizādo).

Flame Style

Flame Style (フレイムスタイル Fureimu Sutairu) is Kamen Rider Wizard's round ruby-based basic form, acquiring magical control over fire and heat with the Flame Ring.

The magic circle formed by the Hurricane Ring typically hovers in the air above Kamen Rider Wizard. He jumps upward through the circle in order to shift into this Style.

Land Style

Land Style (ランドスタイル Rando Sutairu) is Kamen Rider Wizard's square yellow citrine-based form, acquiring magical control over earth through the use of the Land Ring. Land Style is the strongest of the four Styles, showing an increase in punching and kicking powers, but as a drawback it shows a decrease in jumping height and a slow running speed. Nonetheless, Land Style is better suited for battling strength-oriented Phantoms.[2][9][10] When Kamen Rider Wizard changes into this Style, the Wizardriver rhythmically chants a combination of "Do" (ド (土), "Earth") and "Don" (ドン).[Note 1] The magic circle formed by the Land Ring typically travels upward across Kamen Rider Wizard's body from the ground. Alternatively, the magic circle can be manifested at Kamen Rider Wizard's waist, from there traveling both upwards and downwards at the same time.

Special Rush

Special Rush (スペシャルラッシュ Supesharu Rasshu) is a special form utilizing enhanced red versions of all of Wizardragon's parts, accessed by using the Special Rush Ring. In this form, Kamen Rider Wizard is armed with the Rush Skull (ラッシュスカル Rasshu Sukaru), the Rush Wings (ラッシュウィング Rasshu Wingu), the Rush Hell Claws (ラッシュヘルクロー Rasshu Heru Kurō), and the Rush Tail (ラッシュテイル Rasshu Teiru) each of which being able to use their respective elements. Special Rush's finisher is the Special Dragon Rush (スペシャルドラゴンラッシュ Supesharu Doragon Rasshu), attacking enemies with all of Wizardragon's parts then using a variation of the Dragon Strike Wizard. Kamen Rider Wizard uses this form in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie War Ultimatum, when fighting Xatan and the Zaiderbeck in the Underworld. When changing into Special Rush, the Wizardriver announces the names of the four elements: Flame (フレイム Fureimu), Water (ウォーター Wōtā), Hurricane (ハリケーン Harikēn), and Land (ランド Rando). If scanned on the White Wizard Driver, said belt will instead announce, in a row, Volcano (ボルケーノ Borukēno), Hydro (ハイドロ Haidoro), Tempest (テンペスト Tenpesuto), and Horizon (ホライズン Horaizun).

Water Dragon

Water Dragon (ウォータードラゴン Wōtā Doragon) is the evolved form of Water Style, enhanced through Wizardragon's power by using the Water Dragon Ring. By using the Special Ring, the Drago Tail (ドラゴテイル Dorago Teiru) manifests from Kamen Rider Wizard's lower back, allowing him to part a large body of water to unveil whatever lurks in it. With the Blizzard Ring, Kamen Rider Wizard can initiate the form's finisher, Dragon Freeze Whip (ドラゴンフリーズウィップ Doragon Furīzu Wippu) where he freezes the enemy and shatters the frozen target with his tail.[15][16] When changing to Water Dragon, the Wizardriver rhythmically chants a combination of "Jaba" (ジャバ), "Bashan" (バシャン), and "Zabun" (ザブン)[Note 4] to the same tune as Water Style's chant.

However, this form can only be used for a limited time, presumably for one of two reasons: it is taxing on Haruto's magical energy reserves or it could speed up his descent into despair and turn him into a Phantom. When performing the finisher, four of the elemental Wizardragon projections attack the target and Kamen Rider Wizard flies up and does the All Dragon Burst (オールドラゴンバースト Ōru Doragon Bāsuto), a Rider Kick, which is strong enough to send Phoenix to the surface of the Sun.[19]

Equipment

Wizardriver

The Wizardriver (ウィザードライバー Wizādoraibā) is the mystical device that enables Haruto to unlock the powers of the Wizard Rings, allowing him to transform into Kamen Rider Wizard or perform various magical abilities. By wearing a Transformation Ring on the left hand and swinging it across the Grimoire Stone (グリモワールストーン Gurimowāru Sutōn) held within the Hand Author (ハンドオーサー Hando Ōsā), Haruto transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard. By using one of the Shift Levers (シフトレバー Shifuto Rebā) to switch the position of the Hand Author, Kamen Rider Wizard can use a Magic Ring worn on his right hand to initiate one of his many magical spells. The Spell Enchanter (スペルエンチャンター Superu Enchantā) announces "Please!" (プリーズ! Purīzu!) whenever magical power is invoked. When a ring that is used for finishers are scanned the Spell Enchanter says "Chōīne!" (チョーイイネ!, "Very nice!") when it is scanned and "Saikō!" (サイコー!, "Awesome!") instead of "Please!" after the name of the ring is announced.[2][23] When not transformed, the Wizardriver appears as an ordinary belt with a hand-shaped buckle, though it retains the ability to utilize any Magic Ring.

Wizard Rings

The many magical powers of Kamen Rider Wizard are accessed through the use of Wizard Rings (ウィザードリング Wizādo Ringu), Magic Stones (魔宝石 Mahōseki) set in rings created by curio shop owner Shigeru Wajima. Transformation Rings (変身リング Henshin Ringu), worn on the left hand, allow Haruto to transform or change forms (announced by the Wizardriver with the phrase "Shabadoobee Touch Henshin!" (シャバドゥビタッチヘーンシーン! Shabadubi Tatchi Hēnshīn!)), or can power a Slash/Shooting Strike with the Wizarswordgun (with the phrase "Come On A Slash/Shooting Shake Hands!" (キャモナスラッシュ/シューティング シェイクハンズ! Kyamona Surasshu/Shūtingu Sheiku Hanzu!)). Magic Rings (魔法リング Mahō Ringu), worn on the right hand, are announced by the Wizardriver with the phrase "Le Patch Magic Touch Go!" (ルパッチマジックタッチゴー! Rupatchi Majikku Tatchi Gō!). Though Magic Rings are normally used by Haruto, it has been demonstrated that the effects will apply to whomever is wearing the ring when it is placed over the Wizardriver (as demonstrated with the Engage, Sleep, and Smell Rings). Kamen Rider Wizard (and by extension, Haruto himself) has a limited amount of magical power with which to cast spells and sustain transformation. The Spell Enchanter will announce "Error!" (エラー! Era!) should Haruto not have enough magical power to use a ring, or is otherwise unable to use a ring for some other reason.[2][24] Should Haruto's magical power supply be severely depleted, Kamen Rider Wizard's transformation will only last for a couple more moments before it is forcefully canceled, at which Haruto will be exhausted physically. Haruto's magical power can be replenished by sleeping and/or eating.

Transformation Rings
Magic Rings
Beast Wizard Rings

The following Wizard Rings belong to and are used by Kamen Rider Beast to summon his mantles. However, when used by Haruto with the Wizardriver, they possess their own unique effects. When scanned, the Beast Wizard Rings announce "Beast" (ビースト Bīsuto) instead of their actual names.

Wizarswordgun

The Wizarswordgun (ウィザーソードガン Wizāsōdogan) is Kamen Rider Wizard's personal weapon. Capable of transforming between a Sword Mode (ソードモード Sōdo Mōdo) and a Gun Mode (ガンモード Gan Mōdo) and possessing its own Hand Author, its true strength lies in having its powers combined with one of Kamen Rider Wizard's elemental Styles for either a Slash Strike (スラッシュストライク Surasshu Sutoraiku) with the Sword Mode or a Shooting Strike (シューティングストライク Shūtingu Sutoraiku) with the Gun Mode.[2][25] The Wizarswordgun fires silver bullets while in Gun Mode, and Kamen Rider Wizard is skilled enough in its use to curve these bullets, hitting targets without harming hostages. After activating either a Slash Strike or a Shooting Strike, the Wizarswordgun will begin rhythmically chant an incantation, depending on which Style Kamen Rider Wizard is currently in. Magic Rings can also be used with the weapon's Hand Author.

Drago Timer

The Drago Timer (ドラゴタイマー Dorago Taimā) is a special timer-like gauntlet device created from Haruto's magical energy when the White Wizard begins a ritual for Haruto to use Wizardragon's full power. Worn on the right hand, Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Dragon is able to create three clones of himself in his three other Dragon forms by pressing down the Thumbs Encounter (サムズエンカウンター Samuzu Enkauntā) on the Drago Timer as it passes each Elemental Sign (エレメンタルサイン Erementaru Sain) (red for Flame, blue for Water, green for Hurricane, and yellow for Land) in the Drago Dial (ドラゴダイアル Dorago Daiaru). When the Drago Timer is used, it announces "Drago Time" (ドラゴタイム Dorago Taimu), "Set Up" (セットアップ Setto Appu) and "Start" (スタート Sutāto) when starting the timer. After completing one full cycle, it will announce "Final Time" (ファイナルタイム Fainaru Taimu) and when the Thumbs Encounter is pressed again, it will activate the finishers for each Kamen Rider Wizard Dragon form. On the end of the Drago Timer is the Wizard Ring-like Prism Drago Light (プリズムドラゴライト Purizumu Dorago Raito) which is the crystallized form of Haruto's magic power and the four elements, which allows Kamen Rider Wizard to become All Dragon by scanning it on the Wizardriver.[26]

Winger

The Machine Winger (マシンウィンガー Mashin Wingā) is Haruto's personal Honda CRF250R offroad bike. He has tuned it up to be used in any situation, and even has power armor for when he fights as Kamen Rider Wizard.[27]

Wizardragon

Wizardragon (ウィザードラゴン Wizādoragon, voiced by Ryūzaburō Ōtomo), simply called Dragon (ドラゴン Doragon), is Haruto's inner Phantom and the source of Haruto's magical power. This dragon Phantom is usually summoned to battle other Phantoms in the Underworld. Initially, Wizardragon was rather hostile towards Haruto and only cooperated when mounted with the Machine Winger. Eventually, Wizardragon came to respect Haruto and his resolve when they comforted each other in Haruto's Underworld. From that point on, the Wizardragon allowed Haruto the entirety of his power in the form of Kamen Rider Wizard's Dragon Styles and the two continued their alliance, until Wizardragon was stroke down protecting Haruto's Underworld from the Phantom, Legion. But when Haruto created the Infinity Ring, Wizardragon was resurrected with the new ability to become the Axcalibur.[28] Interestingly, when the Wizardriver scans the Dragorise Ring, it chants "Here I come, to become your master!".

With the Machine Winger mounted, the Wizardragon gains a large-winged formation called Winger Wizardragon (ウィンガーウィザードラゴン Wingā Wizādoragon). While in this form, Wizardragon can transform into a giant mechanical dragon's leg called the Strike Phase (ストライクフェーズ Sutoraiku Fēzu) for Wizard to wear and use for the Strike End (ストライクエンド Sutoraiku Endo) Rider Kick, which resembles the "Strike Wizard" Rider Kick, but with a giant Kamen Rider Wizard illusion generated from the dragon's flames.

Axcalibur

The Axcalibur (アックスカリバー Akkusukaribā) is the transformed state of Wizardragon which acts as Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity Style's axe/sword weapon of choice. By holding Axcalibur with both hands, it will read the Infinity Ring and will announce "Turn On" (ターンオン Tān On) which will allow it to interchange between Ax Mode (アックスモード Akkusu Mōdo) and Calibur Mode (カリバーモード Karibā Mōdo). By tapping the Palm Author on Axcalibur, it will announce "High Touch!" (ハイタッチ! Haitatchi!)[Note 6] then will chant "Ki Ra Ki Ra!" (キ・ラ・キ・ラ! Kirakira!)[Note 7] and will activate the Shining Strike (シャイニングストライク Shainingu Sutoraiku) finisher. The Shining Strike for Ax Mode is the Dragon Shining (ドラゴンシャイニング Doragon Shainingu), where Axcalibur grows larger and Kamen Rider Wizard jumps up in the air then strikes the enemy with it with a crystal like projection of Dragon channeled on the blade.[29] By tapping the Palm Author at least five times in sequence, Haruto can perform the Plasma Shining Strike (プラズマシャイニングストライク Purazuma Shainingu Sutoraiku). The finisher from the Plasma Shining Strike is called Giga Dragon Shining (ギガドラゴンシャイニング Giga Doragon Shainingu), by throwing the Axcalibur to spin around the enemy like a boomerang as it strikes it back and forth.

Plamonsters

The Plamonsters (プラモンスター Puramonsutā) are familiars (使い魔 tsukaima) created from plastic models that are given tentative life through the use of the Wizard Rings, normally used to find Phantoms and distract them. Once the magic wears off, a Plamonster fades into nothingness, leaving only their respective Magic Ring behind. The Plamonsters can sometimes reconfigure themselves into a stronger combination.[30]
