Takydromus tachydromoides
Takydromus tachydromoides, the Japanese grass lizard, is a wall lizard species of the genus "Takydromus". It is found in Japan. Its Japanese name is 'kanahebi' (カナヘビ). 'Hebi' means 'snake' in Japanese, although this lizard is not a snake. There are three lizards found in the four main islands of Japan. The other two are the Japanese gekko (also, Schlegel's Japanese gekko, "Gekko japonicus"), and the Japanese five-lined skink ("Eumeces latiscutatus", also "Plestiodon latiscutatus"; this skink shows five lines only as a juvenile).
