==Legend==
Gaki is the Japanese translation for the Preta, a spirit in Buddhist tradition. Those who committed grave sins in life may become this yōkai and are cursed with eternal hunger and thirst. They are one of the six forms of reincarnation and dwell in the realm of Gakidō, and multiple types are known to exist, each facing a different form of suffering based on the sins they've committed. No matter how much a Gaki eats, if they are capable of eating, their appetite is never satisfied, leaving them to suffer more.
