Author Profile

　I am Kazusa Kawai. (Kawai is family name)

I am a Japanese scorpiologist and I have own laboratory (The Japan Scorpion Laboratory). I love scorpions since childhood. When I was a child, a scorpion was drawn on the saddle of a bicycle that my parents bought first. After that, I became interested in the scorpion and read a article about scorpions in my pictorial book. At that time I feel they are very cool. That feeling still does not change. I want to introduce such cool creature on this website.
