Hoshi gaki are persimmons that are peeled and dried whole over a period of several weeks through a combination of hanging and delicate hand-massaging, until the sugars contained in the fruit form a delicate surface with a dusting that looks like frost.
Unlike sliced dried fruit, which tend to be brittle and leathery, hoshi gaki are succulently tender and moist, with concentrated persimmon flavor.
The hoshi gaki method is traditional to Japan, and came to America with Japanese American farmers.

 Gaki - L5r: Legend of the Five Rings - a Wikia wiki
Gaki are a form of undead that are created when humans die, having lived lives of selfishness or dishonor, and are cursed to an existance in Gaki-do, the realm of the hungry dead.
Composed of the souls of drowned sailors, the Skull Tide Gaki manifests itself as a mass of chattering skulls, attacking ships by biting the hull and tossing the ship about by their sheer number.
Those sailors who fall overboard are ripped and torn in the jaws of the many skulls of the gaki, their tormented souls joining the hungry undead host.

 A Half-Dozen Gaki To Go: More Hungry Ghosts for GURPS Japan
Gaki, as described in GURPS Japan, are ghosts tormented by a ravenous hunger.
Gaki are not limited to campaigns in Japan; in any campaign where ghosts or spirits are possible, any connection to the Orient could cause a gaki to appear.
A successful physical attack against a gaki always hits (it does not defend), and does "normal" damage, but when its HT reaches 0, it is merely dispelled for 1d hours.

  Gaki
In Japanese Buddhism, Gaki (餓鬼, "hungry ghosts") are the spirits of jealous or greedy people who, as punishment for their mortal vices, have been cursed with an insatiable hunger for a particular substance or object.
Gaki are often depicted in Japanese art (particularly that from the Heian period) as emaciated human beings with bulging stomachs and inhumanly small mouths and throats.
Gaki are generally little more than nuisances to mortals unless their longing is directed toward something vital, such as blood.

 Rift
After all, Buddha is punishing the Gaki for these sins, and the worst part of a Gaki's existence is their lack of sleep.
Some Gaki use this power for protection, some use it to deal with their own guilt, and some are rumored to have entered into their rift never to return again.
However, everything that enters the world from the Gaki's rift costs the Gaki a Willpower point, and may even be hostile to him (it is from his own version of hell, after all).

When people died their bodies were abandoned on mountains or in rivers and sometimes they were even left to the dogs or simply left to rot away.
