だれも /da re mo/ and だれでも /da re de mo/ are general equivalents for that, but the usage could be tricky. Depending on the parts of speech the word 'anyone' is used in, it could change to slightly different words in Japanese. Like:

- Daremo inai. (There isn't anyone here.)

- Darenimo iu na (Don't tell anybody.)

- Kare ja nakereba, daredemo ii. (Long as it's not him, anyone would do.)

- Aitsu WA darekaramoaisaremasen deshita. (He wasn't loved by anybody.)

The bold parts, are particles merged with the main word 'dare' usually followed by 'mo', and the usage depend on where to use the word in the sentence, i.e. 'ni' is similar to preposition 'to' in English, so 'darenimo' means 'to anyone. 'Kara' means 'from, by'.
