Far as I can tell, Koyomi’s lack of screen time was due to the actress being a prominent idol with a busy schedule. But it gets worse, as two of the producer’s later shows (Zyuohger and Lupinranger vs Patranger) also had prominent characters played by actors who were too expensive to be regular roles (KR Faiz’s Kohei Murakami in the former, Kikaider Reboot’s Jing Irie in the latter). Though Wizard gets more of a free pass from me since the latter two were basically playing non-human characters who can disguise themselves as humans, meaning they could’ve avoided all the fuss by simply keeping them as suit-only characters and having regular VAs do the roles.*

One thing I remember about Wizard’s finale (beyond the fact that the possibility of Koyomi’s revival is refreshingly for a post Den-O series dismissed entirely) is that the head writer Tsuyoshi Kida cameos as a hyperactive newscaster.

* well that, and Koyomi does get something of a larger presence in the movie war with Gaim.
