The shadowed warlord of the story is based on Daimyo Takeda Shingen and the climactic fight on the Battle of Nagashino which took place in 1573 (source: [1]).
The film was released in 1980 and is generally considered a great costume reincarnation of feudal Japan with its endless warlordism as well as the story of a man with a divided personality, or more generally that of an actor who falls too deep into his role.
Nobukado presents the thief to the generals and contrives a plan to have the kagemusha impersonate Shingen full-time.
