To further confuse the issue, according to the [[Hokuetsu Gunki]], at a later date after the battle, Shingen recieved a visit from a monk by the name of [[Tenkai]] who would later become an advisor to [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]]. Tenkai would tell Ieyasu that Shingen told him during thier meeting that "the man who crossed swords with Kenshin that day was not me, but someone who looked like me".

Although the [[Koyo Gunkan]] states that it was combat between Shingen and Kenshin, there is little evidence to support this. The issue is further confused by the fact that Shingen and Kenshin had never met face to face, and therefore did not know what the other looked like. So it is possible that the "famous" clash between Shingen and Kenshin during the 4th battle of Kawanakajima was in fact a clash between thier respective Kagemusha instead.
