Trivia

The main character Wataru Kurenai is the second Primary Rider (after Shin Kazamatsuri) who is explicitly shown to have a parent. Other Riders often have their parents dead or never explicitly mentioned of their whereabouts.

Compared to most Heisei Riders, Kiva's Final Form, the Emperor Form, was introduced fairly early in the series. As the series continued, Emperor Form eventually superseded Kiva Form as Wataru's primary Rider form, with Wataru transforming directly into it. This was largely due to the fact that the base Kiva suit, and by extension all of Kiva's other forms, were too heavy to continue using as the primary suit, putting a great deal of strain on suit actor Takaiwa's body during filming. Due to this, the Emperor Form costume was created to be lighter in weight.

Each episode's title is a word or phrase relating to music and a phrase describing the episode separated by a symbol from musical notation.

The main actor Koji Seto is the lead vocalist of the J-rock band Tetra-Fang, where he performed several insert songs for Kiva.

The series is divided into three story arcs:

Episode 01-24 - Story Arc: Begin: Destiny's Play Through Time (Kaien: Tokio Kakeru Destiny Play Hen) Episode 25-43 - Story Arc: Climax: Shocking Supernova (Saikouchou: Shougeki no Supernova Hen) Episode 44-48 - Story Arc: Finale: Bond's Break the Chain (Shuukyoku: Kizuna no Break the Chain Hen)
