[ll Demon-kun ll]

Uhhhh..... Wow... XD Umm... わたしは 悪魔くん はじめまして! (Boku desu Yokai-kun. douzoyoroshiku!) ^_^;  

[Arkab]

Erm, Demon, is that the romanji equivalent of what you typed in Japanese?

私は悪魔くん。はじめまして。
watashi wa aku ma ku n. ha ji me ma shi te.

"僕です" is a wrong expression.
僕は妖怪くん。どうぞよろしく。
boku wa you kai ku n. do u zo yo ro shi ku.

There's a huge difference between 悪魔(akuma) and　妖怪(youkai). The former's a devil, but the latter's a demon. All devils can be considered as demons, but not all demons are devils.

I just thought of something... If Akuma is for Demon, and Street Fighter has an Akuma... Ohhh... O:
