GIANT DROMAEOSAURIDS

I assume _not_ due to un-published nature, but is there anything more you can
tell us about this animal? It being Japanese, I assume it's scrappy - is this
so? Is it similar and/or related to _Utahraptor_? Could it even be a totally
non-related dromaeosaur that has independently evolved 'gigantism' (in this case
relative, given that we're talking about dromaeosaurs - 'small' dinosaurs)?
Can anyone talk to Currie and find out more? (Or Azuma?)
