Shakespeare used the word "pumpion" in his play "Henry IV, Part 2." Specifically, it appears in Act 5, Scene 1, where the character Pistol refers to it in a comedic context. The term is an old word for pumpkin, reflecting the playful and colloquial language present in Shakespeare's works.

Is it true the original assassins came from japan in shakespeare?

What an odd question. Japan is not mentioned anywhere in Shakespeare. The word assassin is of Arabic provenance (it derives from hashish) although Shakespeare was the first to use the word "assassination" in English. There are assassins in Shakespeare's plays, and they might be staged in such a way as to be Japanese (as Ken Branagh did in his film As You Like It), but there is no reason for them to be Japanese, unless that is where you are putting on the play

Arch-villain and cheap are both coined by Shakespeare?

Shakespeare is credited with the first use of the word "Arch-villain" in his play Measure For Measure, but he did not invent "cheap". The noun sense of "cheap" (a cheap was a market or a bargain) goes back to Old English. The adjective form was just coming into use in the Elizabethan era: Shakespeare is credited with the first use of the word in some senses, but other similar uses were first recorded by other people including the playwright Thomas Dekker, some of them when Shakespeare was a schoolboy in Stratford. Shakespeare can hardly be credited with coining the word "cheap"
