Devils (悪魔 akuma) are supernatural creatures often considered to be the same as or different from demons. This is all dependent on the culture or myths that these creatures are being based on. They appear in various religions as an evil entity against mankind and their deity. Devils are commonly portrayed with horns and wings.

Devils in Touhou
Devils are a species of youkai. The vampire[1] is a sub-species of devil that originates from outside of Gensokyo. Devils like the vampire appear to be Western in descent rather than the Eastern creatures like the youkai of Japanese folklore. According to ZUN, Magicians can also be considered a kind of devil.[2] Devils also seem to be related to the world of Makai.[3]
