"This fall a new hero will be born! The Kamen Rider this time will be a "wizard"! He uses rings to do a Style Change! He uses the four grand elements to smoothly perform multi-stage transformations!!" - From the TV-Asahi page blurb.

Introduction

In 2012, for the first time there will be a magic wielding Rider. Imbued with the power of magic, jewels encrusted rings allow him to transform, to freely use magic, and to fight evil.

Furthermore, the mask's design is based on the jewel's setting. It adds to the mystical imagery.

Kamen Rider Wizard fights demons that were born on the ritual performed on the solar eclipse. The hero was a survivor of this ritual. The mysterious White Wizard gave him the henshin tool, allowing him to transform into Kamen Rider Wizard. His fate is to protect humanity from the demons.

What was the ultimate goal of the solar eclipse ritual? What is the terrifying power those demons possess? And what fate awaits the one who fights as Wizard?

Expect quirky characters and a mystical story. In the fall of 2012, Kamen Rider Wizard will take over Japan using magic!

Kamen Rider Wizard

Belt: The Wizard Driver. When a ring is put upon the hand print on the belt, he transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard. The left hand's transformation ring can be swapped to do four Style Changes.

The four Styles are:

Fire 火 ＝ Flame Style フレイムスタイル (Red)

Water 水 ＝ Water Style ウォータースタイル」（Blue）

Wind 風 ＝ Hurricane Style ハリケーンスタイル」（Green）

The rings change the mask and the chest portions. He uses magic from each of the Elements. The right hand rings are reserved for casting spells. It works in conjunction with the left transformation rings. He can use them even when not transformed as Wizard, making the story more exciting.
