A demon is an evil spirit, a supernatural being. Those who believe in demons think that they do bad things or scare people. The word comes from Greek. Actually, the Greeks did not necessarily think of a spirit as evil. However, Christians imagined demons to mean the devil and the kingdom of evil.

Baal, for example, was a god of weather and fertility. The inhabitants of the land of Canaan worshipped him. Canaan is located about where Syria is today. This was hundreds of years before Christ. But the Christians believed that there was only one God, and that was their own. All other gods were only demons in the eyes of the Christians.

Today, people often speak of a demon when they don’t mean a spirit. When someone is haunted by demons, one actually wants to say that he is tormented by evil people. Or else one thinks of fears that someone has.

Japanese Demon Names

Oni are particularly popular representatives of japanese demons. In the course of time, the creatures that were once thought to be benevolent became evil monsters.

Oni (jap. 鬼) are ubiquitous in Japan – whether on TV, on the next street corner, or in a story, the japanese mischief-makers are probably among the best-known yokai in history. Translated, their name means demon or ogre. The second explains why they have a strong resemblance to an ogre. Rarely, the term is also translated as “devil” or “evil spirit”. But even these names are self-explanatory if you take a look at the past.

The term oni was used for a time in the Japanese language as a valid generic term for all demons, monsters, and spirits. It was also used to classify particularly mischievous people. Today, the terms “yokai” or “obake” are used.
