But technically, he's the 4th "Shinigami" to have a Dual Zanpakuto whilst in Shikai.

Hisagi

Hisagi has a dual shikai its connected by a chain so i don't think it is counted has one (though Ukitake also has a rope) but every mention of dual zanpakuto's in the manga that i  remember has only stated that Shunsui and Ukitake have one. As far as I'm aware Shuhei never releases Kazeshini until his fight with Findorr Calius. Yamamoto's comment on Shunsui & Joshiro's Zanpakutos takes place long before that.

Its entirely possible that the concept for kazeshini hadn't been developed yet and thus Yamamoto's comment, while accurate at the time, in time proved to be incorrect.
