Kazehakase (Japanese: Dr. Wind (風博士 kaze hakase?) is a web browser for Unix-like operating systems that uses the GTK+ libraries. Kazehakase embeds the Gecko layout engine as well as GTK+ WebKit. However, the author also plans to add the ability to switch between additional different rendering engines (e.g. GtkHTML, Dillo, w3m).
The browser is named after the short story "Kazehakase" by the Japanese author Ango Sakaguchi; its literal meaning is "Dr. Wind" (a PhD rather than a medical doctor).
Kazehakase is free software, available under the GNU General Public License. It has been available at repositories for Debian and Ubuntu, and has been ported to FreeBSD.
Kazehakase seems to be no longer in active development since 2012.
