Do demons get any special honorifics?


Do demons get any special honorifics put after their names?

I don't know whether demons get their own honorific, but the fact that demons
have a different [counter
word](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_counter_word#Common_counters_by_category)
to humans makes me wonder whether they have their own honorific.




As far as I know, there is no particular honorific which is used for demons
but not for humans. But it would be possible to add "sama" on to the name of a
particularly powerful demon, in the same way as "hotoke sama" (仏様) or "kami
sama" (神様). However, it is my firm opinion that "san" or "shi" (氏) would not
be used for a "demon".
