The remains were found in the area of the settlement of Mukawa in Hokkaido, the channel reports referring to a report published in the journal Nature.
After the excavation, the dinosaur received the nickname Milawarya, but later scientists gave him a proper classification - Kamuysaurus japonicus.
Earlier, a detachment of the Kemerovo Regional Museum of Local Lore discovered the remains of a representative of the dinosaur dinosaur - sauropod.
