I agree with you, given that a yaksha is a Buddhist spirit and has no specific connection to a forest, per se. I saw this change after I came back from a short break and was going to originally revert it back to my own, earlier translation of "Dog Demon". Given that yaksha cannot be "translated" exactly, I felt like this was the closest fit without directly using the term yaksha in the translation.

However, the person who added this translation added the "Art of InuYasha" book as a source, so until I can think of a way to invalidate the use of this source in this context, I can't change the translation, even if I disagree with it, since it apparently has a canonical basis. I will try to discuss this in our next meeting.
