History Series / SuperHeroTime

From 2007 to 2012, Super Hero Time was branded as part of a larger "Nichi Asa Kids Time"[[note]]Translates to "Sunday Morning Kids Time" or "Sunday TV Asahi Kids Time"[[/note]] programming block which was on from 7 am to 9 am JST, with all shows generally sponsored (and merchandised) by Creator/BandaiNamco. Even before this branding, the general lineup of Sunday morning kids TV on TV Asahi was more or less formulaic, even sort of extending into 6:30 am starting in 2011:

** ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'' (September 2018 - )
** ''Series/KamenRiderZeroOne'' (TBA)

*** ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'' (April 1997 - February 1998)[[note]]Megaranger began in February 1997, but until April, the series aired on Friday nights, rather than Sunday mornings.[[/note]]

*** ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'' (April 1997 - February 1998)

** ''Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger'' (February 2018 - )

** There was ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'', the Heisei Rider 10th anniversary series which ended up uniting all the main Kamen Riders up to then. A few years after, Sentai followed suit with ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'' on the 35th anniversary of ''Super Sentai'' series, and ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'' on the 20thh anniversary of ''Heisei Kamen Rider'' series.

Super Hero Time is a programming block on the Japanese television network Creator/TVAsahi, featuring new episodes of [[{{Toku}} tokusatsu]] television series from the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series. Both series have decades of history and have been intertwined in the public imagination for some time, not least of all because the driving creative force behind both was mangaka Creator/ShotaroIshinomori and they were both produced by the same production company, Toei Company. However, they did not air together until 2000 with ''Series/KamenRiderKuuga'' and ''Series/KyukyuSentaiGoGoV'', though at the time they were not acknowledged together; even before 2000, the slot ''Kamen Rider'' ended up in featured the ''Series/MetalHeroes'' and ''Robocon'' going back to 1989, while ''Super Sentai'' had only moved to Sunday mornings part-way through ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger''.
