In Japan, the monkey's role in guarding against demons originates from the Japanese word for monkey, pronounced saru, which is a homonym for the Japanese word "expel", also pronounced saru. The latter word means to "dispel, punch out, push away, beat away." According to the legends of Japan's Mt. Hiei shrine-temple multiplex, this makes the monkey an "expeller of demons" -- in other traditions, the monkey is also thought to ward off thieves.
