Super Sentai is a Tokusatsu television franchise, it's first entry was Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, produced in 1975. There are currently 48 installments in the franchise.

Building off the popularity of Toei's Kamen Rider series, Sentai (frequently translated as 'squadron') featured a team of color-coded heroes who must work together to defeat an evil threat. The Super moniker was added with the third series, Battle Fever J, when the giant robot introduced in Toei's Spider-man became part of the Sentai formula.

It also has the longest continuous run of the "Big 3" tokusatsu franchises, having only skipped a year in 1978 when Spider-man ran in its time slot. From 1979 to current there has been a Super Sentai season every year without fail.

In 1993 the American company Saban took action footage from the 1992 installment Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and combined it with new footage of American actors to create the series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers which spawned the massively successful Power Rangers franchise, each series incorporating footage of subsequential Sentai series.

Fandom

The series has developed a small following in the US, connected to the Power Rangers fandom.

Fandom typically split the series by (Japanese) eras; Showa (1975-1989), Heisei (1989-2019), and Reiwa (2019-the present).

Showa covers Himitsu Sentai Gorenger to Choujuu Sentai Liveman

Heisei covers Kousoku Sentai Turboranger to Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger

Reiwa covers Mashin Sentai Kiramager onwards.

Heisei and Reiwa era Sentai are typically most popular in the fandom, particularly series airing after 2000.
