IIRC Buddhism had already Gaki-concept in India, though I don't know equivalent term in Sansklit. Gaki is also a status or wolrd of six worlds through which all spirits incarnate. KIZU 11:33, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Tag
"In a game of tag, the person who is 'it' may be known as the 'gaki'." I thought it was oni in Japan, not gaki? — BrianSmithson 22:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tag, cont'd
Actually, the article on the tag game says exactly that (claiming it's 'oni'). Possibly both are possible, though 'gaki' it seems makes less sense.
