- Youkai (Yōkai): Simply put, a demon. It is interesting to mention that while Tokyopop translates this as Yokai, a direct translation from the Japanese gives you Yōkai or Youkai instead. It is also argued that a Yōkai, in Japanese, refers specifically to sentient demons, those of a higher rank.

Famous quotes containing the word terms:
“Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“As for the terms good and bad, they indicate no positive quality in things regarded in themselves, but are merely modes of thinking, or notions which we form from the comparison of things with one another. Thus one and the same thing can be at the same time good, bad, and indifferent. For instance music is good for him that is melancholy, bad for him who mourns; for him who is deaf, it is neither good nor bad.”
—Baruch (Benedict)
“But the nature of our civilized minds is so detached from the senses, even in the vulgar, by abstractions corresponding to all the abstract terms our languages abound in, and so refined by the art of writing, and as it were spiritualized by the use of numbers, because even the vulgar know how to count and reckon, that it is naturally beyond our power to form the vast image of this mistress called “Sympathetic Nature.””
—Giambattista Vico (1688–1744)
