Kunichika Toyohara Sen Taiheiki gigokuden Walters 95339, Taira Masakado (901-940), an evil usurper of the throne, charges into battle surrounded by look-alike decoys. Masakado used magic to create ghostly doubles of himself, making it difficult for his enemies to find him on the battlefield. He was finally killed by a warrior who crept into his camp at night and felt the wrists of all the sleeping Masakados until he found one with a pulse.
