Upon consideration, this page seems like it might be a bit unnecessary. I mean, there's already the "Japanese legendary creatures" category, which already contains everything that would be in here. Is it really necessary to categorize the Japanese demons again? Just a thought. I'm a semi-noob, so I'm probably wrong. Dan 23:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree, "demon" is really a vague term when it's applied to beings from non-European myths. What constitutes a Japanese "demon" really depends on how you translate words like yōkai (which can also be "spook" or "monster") or oni (which can also be "ogre"). I'm going to move everything in here back into the parent category for now. Kotengu 小天狗 18:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Re-removing them, as nobody is making any arguments for the use of this category. Kotengu 小天狗 (talk) 05:02, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
