Is this a Coleoptera larva? Any idea which family does this belong to?

Remember that this larva is from Japan, so identification at the species level is quite impossible. I will look into that family, to be honest I have not even heard about it.

As a matter of fact, I've got consultation that mine larvae is not from Pythidae, but from close family and it is Pyrochroa sp., Pyrochroidae.
