oooh, interesting

What about the classic "oni"?
When I got some time will think about if I can think of anything to add :D

Not to mention kaijuu and kaijin or does that not fit with your theme :) <- me been watching too much toku
and I think you should add Daimajin Kanon with all it's tsukigami and stuff *shuts up*

[herr_pet0r]

Ah, right xD Totally forgot about oni. I'll add it later
I didn't know kaijuu and kaijin before... but they fit, thanks :D

ah, true... I forgot that one, too x_x

[shenai]

I find this stuff very interesting too :D
If I remember I'll make sure to come back at a later point when I have time and think about anything I might contribute to this list :)
It's totally cool.

[herr_pet0r]

Thanks :) and yay~ now this doesn't feel like a thing I put on my LJ without anyone caring xD

It would probably too much to add the names of youkai, wouldn't it...? There are so many... :/

[shenai]

Got something new to add^^
Hyakki Yakosho for drama, and since they use this term all the time in it, that too -> 妖魔

Oh and there's Shabake 2 too^^

P.S.: Maybe don't update the post yet, LJ has been shit the last couple days, if you can edit the post at all it will 99.99% mess up your coding.

[shenai]

And you should add Tactics to manga and anime.

[herr_pet0r]

Thank you~

[shenai]

You're welcome.

Dunno if you wanna add Tokyo Ghost Trip too... they have some weird itako and they summon spirits all the time XD
You do have Guren Onna so I guess this one fits too.
