>Some IJN aircraft carriers

>Many IJN auxiliary ships (CVEs included)

Escort carriers weren't auxiliaries in the IJN, for all intent and purpose fleet carriers have been exhausted with the exception of Shinano and those that were not completed and commissioned.

>Many IJN coastal defence ships (widely from pre-dreadnought BB to motor torpedo boat)

Coastal defence ships inteneded as old battleships and armoured cruisers apply mainly to the pre-WWII-era, in July 1942 all those kind of ships were reclassified as cruisers while the term coastal defence ship became used exclusively for the corvette-like escorts. The Japanese didn't have many motor torpedo boats, the few (generally unsuccessful) ones were classified as auxiliary boats (coastal defence ships were considered major combatants).
