The Momi class was designed with higher speed and better seakeeping than the preceding  second-class destroyers. The ships had an overall length of  and were  between perpendiculars. They had a beam of , and a mean draft of . The Momi-class ships displaced  at standard load and  at deep load. Kaki was powered by two Parsons geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by three Kampon water-tube boilers. The turbines were designed to produce  to give the ships a speed of . The ships carried a maximum of  of fuel oil which gave them a range of  at . Their crew consisted of 110 officers and crewmen.

The main armament of the Momi-class ships consisted of three  Type 3 guns in single mounts; one gun forward of the well deck, one between the two funnels, and the last gun atop the aft superstructure. The guns were numbered '1' to '3' from front to rear. The ships carried two above-water twin sets of  torpedo tubes; one mount was in the well deck between the forward superstructure and the bow gun and the other between the aft funnel and aft superstructure.

Construction and career
Kaki, built at the Uraga Dock Company in Uraga, Japan, was launched on October 20, 1919, and completed on August 2, 1920. She was decommissioned on April 1, 1940, before being converted to a training ship. The ship was then re-converted to a auxiliary ship and was renamed Ōsu (大須). She served in that capacity throughout the Pacific War before being finally scrapped in 1948.
