Hidarugami Conversion: The Hidarugami are able to convert others into Hidarugami themselves. This is achieved by being near their presence, where the person is overwhelmed with the feeling of starvation, even if they have just recently eaten something. One way to avoid becoming a Hidarugami is by tracing the kanji for rice on the palm of their hand.
==Legend==
Hidarugami are the vengeful spirits of those who died from starvation. They possess those who wander in the mountains, making them sluggish and feel an intense hunger, similar to that of a Gakitsuki.
Eating something right away will ward off a Hidarugami's possession, and if you don't have anything to eat, writing the kanji for "rice" on the palm of your hand and then licking it three times will rejuvenate your energy.
They have many alternate names depending on the region they're found in, including Darashi and Dari.
