Is there a chameleon like lizard native to Japan?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

They are sometimes called American chameleons, although they are not true chameleons. They can, however, change their color from brown through a bright emerald green.

The first answer has been ruled out by beast.
The second answer uses copied-and-pasted (C&P) information that was taken from one of two possible sources, one perhaps plagiarizing the other:

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.
