Early career
Born in Tokyo, Japan, Shimamura attended the Tokyo Kurume High School.[1] In January 2018, without even attending his graduation ceremony, Shimamura flew to Argentina to sign for Newell's Old Boys. While in Rosario, he played mostly for Newell's under-23 side.[1]
Michalovce
Shimamura moved to Slovakia in August 2021, signing with ŠK Tvrdošín. He would go on to score 5 goals for Tvrdošín, before attracting interest from first division club Zemplín Michalovce, who he would sign for on loan in January 2022.[2][3] He made his debut for the club in a 2–1 loss against league newcomers MFK Tatran Liptovský Mikuláš, coming on off the bench in the 62nd minute for Brian Peña.[4]
