As such, she needs periodical infusions of magical energy through the use of the Please Ring to maintain her being. Though she initially resented her half dead state and wished to just stay dead, Haruto convinces her to have hope in him, accept her present state and work for the future. She currently lives at Wajima's shop, helping Haruto with her unique ability to discern Phantoms-in-disguise from real humans. Eventually, Koyomi learns the truth that she is actually Koyomi Fueki (笛木 暦 Fueki Koyomi), the White Wizard's daughter.

He was originally partnered to Katayama six months prior, learning of the Phantoms' existence while investigating mass disappearances. He promises his senior partner that he will protect his son Naoki when Katayama makes an attempt to stop the Phantom Gargoyle.

Manager
The manager of Hungry is an effeminate gay man in drag with constantly changing hair styles. Haruto is his favorite customer, and he comes up with countless new flavors and styles of doughnuts to offer the young man, only to be stymied by Haruto's preference for plain sugar doughnuts.
During the events of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie War Ultimatum, the manager reveals that his name is Yu Kamimura and that Haruto met their ideal (and feminine) self in the Underworld.
The manager is portrayed by Kaba-chan (KABA.ちゃん), prior to her coming out as transgender. Of the role, Kaba-chan stated that while she never really watched Kamen Rider as a child, she felt that she would form great memories as a member of the Kamen Rider Wizard cast. This role made her the first LGBT cast member and regular character in the history of the Kamen Rider Series.[2]
Worker
The worker at Hungry is far more level-headed than his manager, and has many occasions forcing his employer to be quiet. He usually hangs at the back and rarely speaks up.
The worker is portrayed by Ryo Tayano (田谷野 亮 Tayano Ryō).
Phantoms
Phantoms (ファントム Fantomu) are magical creatures born from Gates who experience true hopelessness. They seek to turn more Gates into Phantoms by the will of their leader Wiseman, unaware of his true objective. If during the transformation the Gates manage to regain their lost hope they manage to keep their inner Phantom at bay, attaining the potential to become wizards.
Medusa
Medusa (メデューサ Medyūsa) is a Phantom born from the body of a young girl who detests being referred to by Gremlin as Misa (ミサ). She is unquestioningly loyal to Wiseman and takes offense to any Phantom who refuses to carry out their mission, to the point of being fully willing to execute them. Cruel and calculating, Medusa has the ability to look through Gates' personal Underworlds and shoot beams from her eyes in human form while her hair can siphon off magic and she wields the Arrogant (アロガント Aroganto) scepter in her natural Phantom form. In battle, Medusa can use magic and is able to petrify her opponents.[3]
Though she rarely fights, Medusa engages Haruto in combat whenever it is necessary. When Medusa attempts to infiltrate a school to target a student named Takako (多香子), her original self revealed to be Misa Inamori (稲森 美紗 Inamori Misa), she learns of her original self's twin sister Mayu and attempts to create a Phantom from her instead. However, Mayu becomes a witch and Medusa is driven off by the White Wizard. Soon after, Medusa finds herself becoming Gremlin's lackey as he abuses his new rank as Wiseman's right hand to force her into aiding his schemes. Later on, when Mayu returns, Medusa engages Kamen Rider Mage in a number of fights before the witch obtains the Holy Ring to settle things with her. Though mortally wounded, Medusa attempts to kill Mayu when she is literally backstabbed by Wiseman, dying with knowledge that she has been his pawn in gathering the four wizards for him before dissolving into dust.
Misa is portrayed by Erina Nakayama (中山 絵梨奈 Nakayama Erina). Nakayama also portrays Mayu Inamori.
Phoenix
Phoenix (フェニックス Fenikkusu) is a Phantom born from the body of a young man, referred to by Gremlin as Yugo (ユウゴ Yūgo). The Phantom's fiery temper, arrogance, and love for violence makes him a dangerous berserker. In battle, Phoenix controls hell fire and wields the fire bladed Catastrophe (カタストロフ Katasutorofu) broadsword. He can also revive from any attack that would be fatal to other Phantoms, literally rising from the ashes with is power intensified. As he killed a Gate once by mistake, Phoenix is made an observer of the other Phantoms and is seems behave in an overbearing manner to them at a lesser degree.[4]
After Haruto's constant interference, Phoenix convinces Wiseman to give him permission to deal with him personally while creating a new Phantom using a boy named Hiroki Itoh by going after the boy's parents. Though he overpowers Kamen Rider Wizard at first, Phoenix ends up being destroyed by the Kamen Rider's new Flame Dragon form. Since his defeat, Phoenix vowed revenge on the wizard and engaged him again when he goes after a blonde-haired man named Tatsuro. Though he succeeds in placing Tatsuro in despair by burning his Christmas presents to orphans, Phoenix is taken out with Kamen Rider Wizard Water Dragon's Dragon Freeze Whip long enough for the latter to destroy Tatsuro's inner Phantom Hekatonkheir (ヘカトンケイル Hekatonkeiru).
Later, furious at Wiseman's decision for him not to go after Haruto, Phoenix's provoked attack on drunkards results in Rinko learning of Yugo Fujita (藤田 雄吾 Fujita Yūgo), a peaceful florist's assistant who was among those abducted during the solar eclipse and sacrificed. As Rinko does not know of Phoenix's human form, she does not recognize him as her foe until Phoenix earns her trust, revealing his true form to her once she convinces him to act on his own whim. With Sora's help, Phoenix enacts his plan to settle things with Haruto. Taking the Phantom's power into consideration, Haruto becomes Kamen Rider Wizard All Dragon to send Phoenix hurtling to the sun and trapped him in an endless loop of death and rebirth which constantly consume his mana before he even finishes regenerating, thus preventing him from escaping out of the sun.
Yugo is portrayed by Atsumi (篤海).
Gremlin
Gremlin (グレムリン Guremurin) is a Phantom born from the body of a young man who only refers to himself as Sora (ソラ), previously referred to solely as "a youth" (青年 seinen). In battle, Gremlin wields the scissor-like twin Rapture (ラプチャー Rapuchā) swords and moves at speeds so fast that it appears time has ceased in his surroundings. Apparently maintaining his behavior from his former human self, Gremlin acts on his own whim, referring to most Phantoms by the names of their original selves.
Motivated with his desire to have Haruto use the full powers of Wizardragon, Gremlin provides Section Zero with the green Magic Stone and later gives Haruto a yellow Magic Stone via Koyomi and watches Kamen Rider Wizard put it to good use in his Land Dragon form. He later aids Phoenix in arranging his fight with Haruto, replacing Phoenix as Medusa's fellow observer despite her not completely trusting him. When Medusa asks his reasons and motivation, Gremlin states that he only wishes to know the entirety of Wiseman's plan and releases the Phantom Legion in a risky gambit to get answers from Wiseman. Managing to win Wiseman's trust, Gremlin becomes his right hand.
When the popular model Chiaki Shimizu is attacked by the Phantom Argus, Gremlin reveals that he still is former hairdresser Sora Takigawa (滝川 空 Takigawa Sora) while convincing Haruto that they have a lot in common. But it is later revealed that before becoming a Phantom, Sora was a serial killer who murdered and scalped an unknown number of his former clients due to their resemblance to a former girlfriend who he also killed after she dumped him. Sora is disappointed that he and Haruto cannot be friends after the magician learns the truth about his past, but he promises to settle things once he obtains the Philosopher's Stone . Sometime later, knowing more than he lets on, Sora directs Haruto to learn more about Fueki while learning that Koyomi houses the Philosopher's Stone. Unfortunately, his attempt to kidnap Koyomi is foiled and Sora is forced to bide his time. Eventually, once the second Sabbath is ruined, Sora makes his move to relieve Fueki of his Hamel Cane so he can extract the Philosopher's Stone from Koyomi so he can achieve his goal of becoming human, again. However, it turns Sora into a more powerful version of his Gremlin form as he resolves to amass more magical energy with senseless death and destruction to achieve his goal. He is ultimately defeated by Kamen Rider Wizard after the Philosopher's Stone is removed from him, reverting to his basic form and mortally wounded by the magician's Kick Strike. Before his death while accusing Haruto for robbing his hope to be a human, Haruto notes Sora has already transcend his humanity into complete monster to begin with, even before Sora becoming a Phantom, as Sora replies on accepting who he is now.[5]
Sora is portrayed by Takahisa Maeyama (前山 剛久 Maeyama Takahisa).
White Wizard
The White Wizard (白い魔法使い Shiroi Mahōtsukai) is the wizard who gave Haruto the power and means to become Kamen Rider Wizard, leaving Koyomi in his care. He oversees Haruto's evolution as Kamen Rider Wizard, seeing Kosuke Nito's appearance as Kamen Rider Beast a hindrance to his mysterious plans at the time. After Mayu Inamori successfully suppresses her own inner Phantom, he approaches her as well to take her under his wing as a new apprentice. It is only after he commissions a Wizard Ring from Wajima that his human identity, a former particle physicist at Kirimine University (霧峰大学 Kirimine Daigaku) named Sou Fueki (笛木 奏 Fueki Sō), is revealed. As Sora convinces Haruto to prod into his past, learning that he is Koyomi's father, Fueki abducts Yuzuru Iijima after he became a wizard. After Yamamoto becomes a wizard, Fueki also reveals himself during that time to be the Phantom-like figure known as Wiseman (ワイズマン Waizuman) in disguise who was behind the Sabbath and uses the Phantoms born from it to aid him in targeting Gates. However, killing Medusa while revealing himself, Fueki reveals that the Phantoms were nothing more than pawns to find four wizards for him. Explaining that the Sabbath's intended purpose was to resurrect his daughter Koyomi with the Philosopher's Stone, Fueki reveals that he will perform a second Sabbath using Haruto and the other wizards with the entire city as the sacrificial site. After Nito foils the second Sabbath, Fueki attempts to flee Tokyo to resume the Sabbath elsewhere. However, before fighting Kamen Rider Wizard Infinity Style, Fueki is tricked into giving up his Hamel Cane to Sora and is killed by the Phantom.[6][7][8]
Sou Fueki transforms into the White Wizard by means of the White Wizard Driver (白い魔法使いドライバー Shiroi Mahōtsukai Doraibā), a Wizardriver-like belt, with his Palm Author (パームオーサー Pāmu Ōsā) buckle outlined in red chrome and spiked fingertips, which is properly summoned with the black red-outlined Driver On Ring (ドライバーオンリング Doraibā On Ringu). Unlike the Wizardriver which says "Please", the White Wizard Driver says "Now" whenever a Wizard Ring is used while "Yes!" and "Understand?" are used instead of "Chōīne!" and "Saikō!" when a ring used for a finisher is scanned.[9] His Transformation Ring, amber-like in color, is the Change Ring (チェンジリング Chenji Ringu) and his Magic Rings, with clear purple diamond-like stones, are Teleport (テレポート Terepōto), Explosion (エクスプロージョン Ekusupurōjon) and Eclipse (エクリプス Ekuripusu), the last one serving a means to artificially cause an eclipse to start the second Sabbath. Other rings at his disposal include the Copy, Defend, Special, Blizzard, Thunder, and Gravity Rings, and his own Kick Strike Ring that allows him to perform his version of Strike Wizard. Most of the White Wizard's spells are enhanced versions of Wizard's, such as the Copy Ring producing the more powerful Dupe spell whose copies can act independently, much like the Dragon Timer. His personal weapon is the flute-like Hamel Cane (ハーメルケイン Hāmeru Kein). He also has the Plamonsters White Garuda (ホワイトガルーダ Howaito Garūda) which he later gives to Mayu and Black Cerberus (ブラックケルベロス Burakku Keruberosu).[10][11] His magic circle when using the Magic Rings reflect the lunar phases of the moon. Assuming the form of Carbuncle (カーバンクル Kābankuru), an Phantom he artificially created from a combination of magic and science in order to become a magician upon absorbing the creature, Fueki can use his Phantom physiology to produce Magic Stones from which the Wizard Rings are manufactured from.
In March 2014, Uchusen magazine will run a special photographic retrospective on Kamen Rider Wizard. The magazine's official Twitter stated that the White Wizard is called "Kamen Rider Wiseman" (仮面ライダーワイズマン Kamen Raidā Waizuman) in the materials they received for the editorial.[12]
The White Wizard's voice is originally provided by Toshitsugu Takashina (高階 俊嗣 Takashina Toshitsugu), and the voice of Wiseman by Toshio Furukawa (古川 登志夫 Furukawa Toshio). Sou Fueki is portrayed by Narushi Ikeda (池田 成志 Ikeda Narushi), who takes over the voice over roles from Takashina and Furukawa after the characters are revealed to be one and the same.
Mayu Inamori
Mayu Inamori (稲森 真由 Inamori Mayu) is the younger twin sister of Misa Inamori, Medusa's original self. Having lost both her sister and parents while studying abroad, Mayu returns to Japan and attends a high school that Medusa later enters to target a classmate of hers. Because of her resemblance to Medusa, Haruto and friends initially believe her to be the Phantom herself until learning of Misa. Seeing Medusa, Mayu believes her to be her actual sister rather than a being born from her. While lured into a trap intended to put her in despair so her Phantom can be born, Mayu learns that Medusa is the one who killed her parents. Despite the despair that Medusa took her family from her, Mayu's memory of Misa telling her that only she decides her fate enables her to suppress her Phantom self. As a result, Mayu becomes a witch and accepts the White Wizard's offer to hone her skills so she can hunt Phantoms and avenge her family.
Mayu returns some time later to face against Medusa with her newly acquired powers as Kamen Rider Mage (仮面ライダーメイジ Kamen Raidā Meiji). Her driver, the Mage's Belt (メイジのベルト Meiji no Beruto), is similar in appearance and properties to the one used by Fueki. After Mayu transforms into Kamen Rider Mage, she says "Now, its time to end this!" (さあ、終わりの時よ! Saa, Owari no toki yo!). As Mage, Mayu can arm herself with the Wizarswordgun, which is similar in appearance to Kamen Rider Wizard's except that the Hand Author is replaced with the red-lined Palm Author. Her main offensive capabilities lie in the giant claw on her left hand known as the Scratch Nail (スクラッチネイル Sukuratchi Neiru).[13] She also possesses the White Garuda Plamonster given to her by Fueki. She then gains possession of the Holy Ring (ホーリーリング Hōrī Ringu), a powerful Ring that emits a strong light capable of destroying a Phantom, obtained by trading Haruto's Infinity Ring as part of a deal made by the White Wizard, however the Holy Ring fails to destroy Medusa and was mortally wounded by Wiseman instead. Feeling betrayed once Fueki's identity as Wiseman was revealed, she decides to side with Haruto and go against Fueki's plans. However due to this, Fueki sends out Yuzuru as the blue Kamen Rider Mage to retrieve her unwillingly for his plans. After the final battle against Gremlin, Mayu joins the police under Rinko's guidance.
Mayu Inamori is portrayed by Erina Nakayama now in a dual role on top of her portrayal of Medusa.
Yuzuru Iijima
Yuzuru Iijima (飯島 譲 Iijima Yuzuru) is a boy who wanted to make amends to the older Akari Kurata (倉田 朱里 Kurata Akari, portrayed by Yukiko Yabe) for getting her in trouble when he was younger and learning that she was moving away within a week. Being targeted by the Phantom Sylphi, Yuzuru gets Nito's help to teach him after watching him fight Ghouls with his impressive bike skills. Unfortunately, Yuzuru is driven to despair when Sylphi tricks Yuruzu into thinking he mastered biking and engineered the events leading to Akari being knocked out by the boy's bike. But after hearing an unconscious Akari calling out his name, Yuruzu regains hope and suppresses his inner Phantom. Though he eventually decides not to become a wizard, allowing Nito to use the Engage Ring to destroy his inner Phantom, Yuruzu is abducted by Fueki.
Under Fueki's spell, Yuzuru returns as the blue Kamen Rider Mage (青い仮面ライダーメイジ Aoi Kamen Raidā Meiji) to retrieve Mayu for the Second Sabbath. After the second Sabbath is foiled by Nito's sacrifice, Yuzuru is freed from White Wizard's spell and decides to fight for Nito's sake alongside Haruto and Mayu. After the final battle, Yuzuru joins Nito's new adventure in searching for Beast Chimera as his weekend apprentice.

He is later held at that Omokagedō for protection after knowing his identity as a Gate. However, he is distraught as he cannot get in contact with his wife and Haruto reports that there is no sign of her being home. Nito and the others then decide to search for her, to which Yamamoto begs to take him along with them even though it will risk his safety. Aya was later found by Arachne, until Kamen Rider Beast, intervenes to protect her from the Phantom. During this, Medusa takes the advantage of Kamen Rider Beast being too distracted by the Phantom and fires an energy ball toward Aya which seemingly kills her. Seeing this causes Yamamoto to fall into despair and begins transforming into a Phantom, until it is revealed that Haruto used the Defend Ring in just the nick of time to protect her. Upon realizing this, he overcomes his despair and suppresses his inner Phantom. Like Yuzuru, he is forcibly taken by Fueki to become a wizard.
Yamamoto appears as the green Kamen Rider Mage (緑の仮面ライダーメイジ Midori no Kamen Raidā Meiji), introduced by Fueki as the "Fourth Wizard" (4人目の魔法使い Yoninme no Mahōtsukai), to fight against Haruto and forcibly make him do Fueki's bidding. After the second Sabbath is foiled by Kamen Rider Beast whom recently freed his Inner Phantom Beast Chimera to stop the plan and becomes powerless, Yamamoto is freed from the White Wizard's controls, and decides to return to his family rather than fight alongside the other Kamen Riders against the White Wizard. Despite this, during Gremlin's attack on Tokyo, Yamamoto is encouraged by his wife to go on and join the others in saving the world by fighting Gremlin. After the final battle, his son is finally born.

(コスモマジック・メタモルフォーゼ！ Kosumo Majikku Metamorufōze!). As Poitrine, she is able to use magic and use the Belle Sabre (ベルサーベル Beru Sāberu). Haruto discovers that Yu's Underworld is an infinite loop, showing her birthday where everyone dotes on her and she saves the people from monsters as Poitrine before everything starts again. The Akumaizers use this to produce countless monsters for their Infinite Monster Plan, keeping Yu placated by convincing her that the fantasy of her Underworld is better than her hum-drum life in the real world. Haruto convinces Yu to move past her fantasies, as keeping her in the Underworld also traps four innocent children. Poitrine later wishes to create the Special Rush Ring for Haruto to defeat the Akumaizer. Afterwards, Haruto is shocked to discover that Yu Kamimura is actually the Donut Shop Hungry Manager. He explains to Haruto that his name actually Yu Kamimura and the Yu Kamimura that Haruto saw in the Underworld is actually his ideal self.
