"Giappone, secolo XVI: ucciso durante un assedio, il principe Shingen viene sostituito da un "kagemusha" (un uomo ombra, cioè un sosia), un ladro a cui viene insegnato a comportarsi da re per non togliere entusiasmo alle truppe e ingannare il nemico. Assolto il suo compito e poi smascherato, il kagemusha viene scacciato, ma non riuscirà ad abbandonare l'esercito: calatosi del tutto nel personaggio, morirà per difendere la bandiera dei suoi soldati e del suo regno. (Mereghetti)."

""1572, dans un Japon en proie à des guerres incessantes, Shingen Takeda, voudrait agrandir son territoire mais se heurte à d'autres chefs de clans prestigieux. Au cours d'une bataille, Shingen Takeda est blessé à mort. La nouvelle se répand vite chez ses ennemis, mais aucun n'a la preuve qu'il est vraiment mort. Fort de ce doute, celui-ci fait promettre avant de mourir à ses généraux de garder le secret de sa mort pendant trois ans, période durant laquelle il sera remplacé par un "Kagemusha" ou "ombre du guerrier". Ses qualités font du Kagemusha un seigneur aussi efficace et respecté que le vrai, ce qui lui vaut la jalousie du prince héritier, Katsuyori. Mais le stratagème est bientôt éventé..."
