Are you a famous, infamous or important person and need someone to pretend to be you? 😎🦹

Than that ‘stand-in’ is a ‘kagemusha’. 🤫😰

‘Kage’ means ‘shadow’ and ‘musha’ means ‘warrior’.

It comes from when Japan was engulfed in civil war and warlords and others in power would use stand-ins to protect themselves.

Here’s how ‘kagemusha’ is written in kanji, hiragana, and romaji:
影 - かげ - kage - shadow, 武者 - むしゃ - musha - warrior.
