A grasshopper that looks like a female piggybacking a A tsuyumushi with streaks running from the top of its head to its back. When viewed from above, a brown streak extends from behind the eye. Body color is light green or brown. Males and females differ in appearance, with females being more robust.

I took a picture of the place where I was on the grass on the cycling road along the Sakai River. When viewed from directly above, brown streaks as the name suggests could be confirmed.
