Saban's Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic is a 1995–1996 American magical girl cartoon show produced by Saban Entertainment that centered on the fictional adventures of Japanese real-life magician Princess Tenko, Mariko Itakura. After each episode, she would appear in a live-action segment to perform an illusion or do her "Teach-A-Trick," a segment that teaches the audience a simple magic trick they could perform at home.
In '94/95, “Princess Tenko” was in the same round of testing as Jewel Riders, but it did not score as high as PGJR. Later, Mattel picked up that line but it did not perform well. (http://www.jewelridersarchive.com/posts/greg-autore-and-the-toy-design-of-jewel-riders-part-two/)
The dolls were slightly altered designs from the cancelled Wonder Woman and the Star Riders toy line in development during 1992–1993.
Check out these designs for the Tenko cartoon! Look a lil familiar....???? 😉

Jewel Riders – Season 1 – Episode 01-02 – Jewel Quest
Written by Robert Mandell
Summary: In the magical world of Avalon, people called the Jewel Riders use Enchanted Jewels to harness magic. Tutored by the great wizard Merlin, Princess Gwenevere is to inherit her mother’s jewel, the Sun Stone. But Gwenevere’s aunt, Lady Kale, banishes Merlin to the Wild Magic for denying her the Sun Stone.
The Wild Magic of Avalon is tamed by the magic of the enchanted Crown Jewels, which are bonded to Merlin. Merlin’s key to the jewel box ends up with a rare, winged unicorn named Sunstar. But she cannot fly, and Lady Kale manages to capture her just as the Jewel Riders and Princess Gwenevere arrives on the scene. Sunstar gives the key to Gwenevere, and Kale demands the Crown Jewels for the winged unicorn’s release. Can Gwenevere save Merlin, Sunstar and the whole of Avalon, when she hasn’t yet gained her enchanted jewel?
Review: This two-parter introduces us to a colorful world and a set of colorful characters. Many characters, too. There is the Jewel Riders themselves, their bonded animals, the royal family, their bonded animals, the pack, their bonded animals, Sunstar’s herd (two which will reappear later), the whole of Avalon itself (which is developed enough to be its own character), and all the concepts thereof. Not to mention the villains.
You’d think with all of this, both episodes would be one big Info Dump, but not so! Central to the episode is the insecurities of Gwenevere and Sunstar. Sunstar is a winged unicorn, and the only one known, yet she cannot fly.
[Three unicorns, one pink, one blue and one purple run around a golden ball.]
Pink unicorn: Over here! Send it over here!
[Blue unicorn headbutts the ball, but it goes wide and ends up at the sidelines where Sunstar is instead.]
Pink unicorn: Throw it back!
Blue unicorn: Aw, she’s too clumsy!
Pink unicorn: C’mon, Sunstar, throw us the ball!
[Sunstar runs after the ball but steps on her own wing and trips. The ball falls down a steep slope and the other unicorns are all ROFLOL.]
Sunstar: I slipped!
Pink unicorn: Slipped? What kind of unicorn are you?
Blue unicorn: Unicorns don’t have wings.
Purple unicorn: She must be a bird!
Sunstar: No. I am a unicorn! Just different, that’s all.
Purple unicorn: Why don’t you just fly down there and get our ball back, Bird!
Sunstar: Fly? I-I can’t-
Blue unicorn: She’s afraid to fly! Haha!
Sunstar: Alright, I will!
[Sunstar goes to the ledge and flaps her wings. She closes her eyes and leaps over the edge. Naturally, she falls down instead. Again, the other three unicorns laughs at her.]
Pink unicorn: She’s a bird alright. A turkey!
Repeatedly throughout the episode, Sunstar is asked to fly. Once above, when the stakes are merely her pride and place amongst her peers, and twice when the fate of the world, or the lives of others, are at stake.
Gwen, by contrast, is worried that she will not fit the Sun Stone and become a Jewel Rider. Unlike many other series, which would have the title character resolve their conflict in the climax (Gwen would get the Sun Stone at Castle Thornwood), it is Sunstar who resolves her conflict (she flies), while Gwen gets to resolve her conflict in the denouement (with help of Sunstar).
The world building, the likable characters and the fact that they weren’t Info Dumps, but instead an arc of character development, makes these two episodes enjoyable.
Still, it is a series that strains against the budget and technology of its times, with a couple of animation errors, and a general feeling that it has a lot more to show, should it only get its chance.
Rating: 8/10 – Great beginning with lots of promise. Regular animation errors of a relatively low budget 90s American cartoon. Likable setting and characters.
