Is there a chameleon like lizard native to Japan?

Thinking about some Kung Fu Panda fan fiction. Want to make invading Japanese Ninjas the antagonist for the Chinese Kung Fu warriors, but don't know what kind of animal to make them.

I wasn't able to find a chameleon or chameleon like lizard with a distribution in Japan, but what if you made them Japanese Macaques. They're very agile and could make good ninjas.

Had considered macaques, but a little too close to both Master Monkey in KFP and MonkeyFist's ninjas from Kim Possible.

Had wanted cameleons, if possible, because the thing the Kung Fu warriors will have the hardest time dealing with is ninja invisibility.

It's a funnny animal fantasy, I could just handwave Japanese cameleons, but if I can find an actual Japanese animal with cameleon like powers, or disguise skills, or lots of stealth, that would be better.
