Ayakashi is an archaic term for yokai.

Kami are Shinto deities or spirits. The word can be used for a range
of creatures, from nature spirits to strong and dangerous gods.

Komainu are a pair of guardian statues placed at the gate of a

shrine, usually carved of stone. Depending on the shrine, they can
be lions, foxes or cows.

Onibi-warashi are like will-o’-the-wisps.

Shinshi are birds, beasts, insects or fish that have a special

relationship with a kami.

Tengu are a type of yokai. They are sometimes associated with

excess pride.

Tochigami (or jinushigami) are deities of a specific area of land.

ITokai are demons, monsters or goblins.

Hononfics
-chan is a diminutive most often used with babies, children or
teenage girls.

-dono roughly means “my lord,” although not in the aristocratic

sense.

-kun is used by persons of superior rank to their juniors. It can

sometimes have a familiar connotation.

-san is a standard honorific similar to Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms.

-soma is used with people of much higher rank.
