A fairly short anime series (4 OVAs) based on an older anime/manga I haven't seen, Demon Prince Enma is about a fire-based demon named Enma, who comes to earth to get rid of other demons that have escaped from Hell, along with an ice demon named Yukihime (who has that whole forbidden, two different worlds love going on with Enma), a kappa named Kapaeru, and a hat that's really an ancient demon named Grandpa Chapeauji.
It's a a bit of spoiler to say that you shouldn't get too attached to any character in the series. These OVAs have a nasty way of killing off the nicest ones - and also the most developed, character-wise. And the ending has all sorts of vicious moral lessons to impart on certain characters. Watch out in the fourth OVA for the painting depicting the Dance of Death because it's going to be the biggest clue to the entire series.
