I got this from a translator: 悪魔ハンター

I did the romaji translation, and it reads "akuma hanta". I really don't want to use a translation in this case that is basically an English word spoken with Japanese rules -> "hanta". This isn't really what I was hoping for. I'm sure that "demon hunter" was a phrase that could be spoken long before English came into play.
There is a famous anime called "Demon Hunter Yoko" and it's Japanese title is 魔物ハンターようこ or something.

魔物ハンター

And the only good translator system that works with phrases is a professional translator human being whom you pay.
