Japanese speakers?

Is there anyone out there who speaks Japanese? Ideally, someone bi-cultural would be perfect, but even someone who speaks the language would be great.

I have a YA fantasy set in Tokyo. It's about a human boy who gets involved in a quest. The good guy (or rather, lady) is Kosui-no-Hime, often referred to just as Hime-Sama. The bad guy/s is/are Tai-teki, often just called the enemy or the foe.

Is this acceptable usage?

Thanks!

Thanks!

The lady, Kosui-no-Hime is a supernatural being, The Lady of the Lake. She's a powerful and revered protective spirit who is endangered by the loss of a magical object, stolen by Dorobou the thieving tanuki. The quest is to recover the object and return it to her. And yes, it's intended as a title rather than a name.

Would Tai-teki work as a reference to a single enemy? In the first draft, I called him "the Enemy" but felt that was too generic and not appropriate to the mood of the story. He is the antagonist, a Dark Lord kind of character who isn't onstage until right at the end. He's a mysterious supernatural who wants to get the object for its power, or at the very least, block its return to Hime-sama.

If Tai-teki doesn't work, is there another word I could use that means something like Boss (as in the Boss in a video game)?

Thanks again!

Not really.
