Demons in Japanese anime and manga (like Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha) are nothing like the way that demons are portrayed in American cartoons and comics.
Demons in Japanese animes and mangas seem to be more like monsters and wizards, while demons in American cartoons and comics seem to be more like devil-like creatures.

You are right. In the world of old tales and myths in Japan, there are no demons.
In the world of old tales and myths in North Germanic peoples and Greece peoples, there are no demons, too.
The first concept of Demon would be in Zoroastrianism in BC 6 centuries in Iran.
Christianism accepted the concept. Some sects of Northern Buddism accepted the concept, too, and transmitted to Japan through China. In Japan, it was treated as one of ideas.
In the Japanese thinking process, there is not the concept of demon which european think.
By the way, I cannot understand that US citizens hate Iran like a denon. Iran is one of the mother countries of european thinking process. We, Japanese respect Iranians.

If you brought a ouji board from Japan to usa and unleashed the demon from Japan now you got a Japanese cockroach who is evasive and hard to kill.

A person can battle the devil and his demons using the rosary and fasting.

Nope. The concept is as stupid in Japan as it is in the U. S.
