An akuma (悪魔) is an evil spirit in Japanese folklore, [1] [2] sometimes described in English-language sources as a devil or demon. [2] [3] An alternative name for the akuma is ma (ま). [4] Akuma is the name assigned to Satan in Japanese Christianity, and the Mara in Japanese Buddhism.
The name ma (魔 – devil) suggests that they are meant to threaten human existence or defy the gods, while -zoku (族 – tribe, clan, family) indicates that they are a family. [ 3 ] Maō ( 魔王 ) is a term derived from mazoku, suggesting a king ( 王 Ō – king, ruler) that rules the mazoku.
