Overview: Shingen, a powerful warlord, has become as legendary as the motto emblazoned on his war banners: "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as the fire, immovable as the mountain." As he lies dying from his battle wounds, Shingen orders his clan to find a double to replace him--to keep his death secret so that his enemies will not attack. The man chosen for this role is called Kagemusha (the shadow warrior). However, this Kagemusha turns out to be a petty criminal who must somehow transform himself into a great leader and command the allegiance of 25,000 samurai warriors.

Inhoud:

Japan, eind 16de eeuw. Het land beleeft een periode van hevige oorlogen tussen de verschillende feodaliteiten. De machtige Shingen Takeda geldt hierbij als een onoverwinnelijk landheer. Maar dan gebeurt het ondenkbare: Shingen wordt gedood door een kogel. Om de macht van de clan te vrijwaren, vraagt hij zijn clanleden om zijn dood minstens drie jaar te verzwijgen en hem zo lang door een dubbelganger, een kagemusha, te vervangen.
