- Introduction -



- quote -
The Hidarugami (ヒダル神, lit. Hunger God), are yōkai referred to as The Hunger Gods.
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.

Hidarugami ヒダル神 The Hunger Gods
In Tosa, when making a 弁当 Bento food offering for Yamanokami or Hidarugami, there are always a pair of chopsticks added.
This will prevent Hidarumami to take possession of a person. If one fears to have been possessed, one has to throw some part of the clothing behind oneself.
