I'm pretty sure it's just a depiction of a samurai warrior - someone on pintrerest has incorrectly labelled the image I assume. Genghis Khan wasn't the one who launched the invasions of Japan, it was Kublai, so depictions of a Mongol ruler from the Japanese PoV would have most likely been of him instead. Even then, Mongols did not use war fans like the one the rider is holding in the image (not with the iconic red sun on them at least ), and they didn't have crescents on their helmets.
It is Possible. It is usual to see that the artist in medieval era don't know about the arms and armour of a foreign army, so they draw a foreign army like an army of his own country. I don't know wheather this painting is in this situation or not, though.
