There are many words, depending on which type of demon or what folklore it originated from. Some are:

鬼 /o ni/ [ghost-like apparition, ogre] ,

悪魔 /a ku ma/ [devil, demon] ,

夢魔 /mu ma/ [succubus, nightmare demon] ,

外道 /ge dou/ [fiend, evildoer, bad person] ,

天魔 /ten ma/ [evil spirit] and

妖怪 /you kai/ [goblin, apparition, specter, monster].
