Oh! many answers, lot of suggestions!
Very thanks many great responses!!
Those will be awesome help to us.
Thanks and thanks!!!

I can't reply to all responses, because I can't handle English easily.
Replying to several things is below.

In Japan, there is only few Pathfinder players because there is no products that has been officially translated, but they are greatly eager players.
I am living in Hiroshima, not Tokyo, in Japan. The Pathfinder RPG is one of best games in my life.
Unfortunately, I have no rank of linguistic skill, so I cannot game with non-japanese speaker.

Do the japanese use the pathfinder art or use there own style?

Various.

Probably, most people use Paizo's art work (and WotC's), and several people use that and adding anime character.

I think it would be nice if some of the monsters were named in kanji (by the meaning of their name) rather than just as transliteration - I think monster names can be more interesting when they are translated into kanji.

I feel it good idea.

However, by some reason, monster names, magic item names, class names, spell names, and several things are not translated, and are transliterated only.
One of reason is that followed manner of the DnD35e of Japanese edition products (published by Hobbyjapan, hobby game vender in Japan).
I think, many different words are translate in only one japanese word.
For example, most of devils, demons, daemons, and other evil fined are translated into "AH-KOO-MAH"(悪魔, アクマ in katakana) in Japanese.
Likewise, most of angels, archons, and other celestial are translated into TEH-NG-SEE(天使, テンシ in katakana).
It is very misleading.

Because we are less familiar with western culture and have no alphabetical character, pronunciation of term that is not listed in the dictionary are difficult to decide.

And now, moreover, I want to know that pronunciations of devil's sub-names (such as Zebub, bdellavritra, Gylou, Puragaus), Ugothol (on Faceless Stalker), and Kayal (on Fetchling).
