"A deva (??? Sanskrit and Pali) in Buddhism is one of many different types of non-human beings who share the godlike characteristics of being more powerful, longer-lived, and, in general, much happier than humans, although the same level of veneration is not paid to them as to buddhas.
... The concept of devas was adopted in Japan partly because of the similarity to the Shinto's concept of kami.
Other words used in Buddhist texts to refer to similar supernatural beings are devata ("divinity") and devaputta ("son of god"). While the former is a synonym for deva ("deity"), the latter refers specifically to one of these beings who is young and has newly arisen in its heavenly world."
