影武者 - Political decoy/Body double
A shadow (影) military (武) someone (者)… So rather than being this military person, they are their shadow. In appearance it is them, but upon deeper inspection you realize it’s a decoy. That’s what we call a political decoy or body double, though literally it means shadow warrior.
Reading: かげむしゃ
This word uses the kun’yomi reading for 影 and the on’yomi readings for 武 and 者. The reading of 武 is a little different from what you learned, though, so here’s a mnemonic just in case:
You want to retreat from society. You hire a body double to assist you. This body double is a cow. When you ask the cow if they understood everything, the cow replies: "Moo (む)."
Visualize the cow impersonating you. This cow is a real man/woman/person. This cow likes doing skateboard. This cow is just like you - except from the fact they are a cow, maybe?
