Mashin Sentai Kiramager (魔進戦隊キラメイジャー, Mashin Sentai Kirameijā) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series. It is the 44th entry of Toei's long-running Super Sentai series and the second in the Reiwa era, following Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger. Kiramager's main motifs are genies, gemstones, and vehicles. It is the fourth vehicle-themed Super Sentai following Engine Sentai Go-onger, the second magic-themed Super Sentai following Mahou Sentai Magiranger, as well as the first to utilize the motif of genies.

The show premiered on March 8, 2020, joining Kamen Rider Zero-One in the Super Hero Time line-up on TV Asahi affiliate stations.

A princess named Mabushina from the planet Crystalia, the Land of Jewels, seeks refuge on Earth with the Kiramai Stones to find individuals with strong "shining spirits", otherwise known as Kiramental (キラメンタル, Kiramentaru), to become the Kiramagers and fight off the threat of Yodonheim, an imperial army of darkness that conquered her homeworld and now plan to assassinate her to ensure that her kind is completely extinct.

Mashin Sentai Kiramager was trademarked in September and officially announced on Christmas day, 2019. The main cast was officially revealed on January 16, 2020.

Impact of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic

On March 31, 2020, a press conference held by TV Asahi revealed that Rio Komiya, the actor playing Juru Atsuta, had tested positive for COVID-19. The production of Mashin Sentai Kiramager had stopped since the previous week. However, according to Toei, there are episodes already filmed and available for airing until the middle of May.

News also came out that Toei Studios shut down for disinfection in response. However on April 3rd, Toei released a statement saying it was false, calling it misinformation. As of April 5th, Komiya's health is improving and all of the series' staff, cast, and the veteran Super Sentai actors and actresses who supported his recovery are now waiting for his speedy recovery and return to the set so they can continue filming. On April 9th, Rio had announced via his Twitter that he was officially discharged from the hospital, however, he would still remain in self-quarantine at home for at least two weeks.
