Playing career

Shimoda was born in Toshima, Tokyo on February 10, 1967. After three years at Takashima High School, he opted for a trip away from Japan. He studied in Brazil, played in the youth ranks of Santos, where he met Kazuyoshi Miura and César Sampaio.[1] He returned to Japan and played in the old Japan Soccer League, but he retired at only 27 years old.[2]

Coaching career

Shimoda tried to have a career in the coaching world, managing the youth side at Kyoto Purple Sanga, but he was also the men behind the return of Miura to Japan in 1999, when the striker opted to sign for Sanga from Dinamo Zagreb.[3] He was as well behind some FC Tokyo's football operations concerning the acquisition of foreign players in the early 2000s. After getting a coach patent, he managed YSCC Yokohama for a couple of months. He also managed the reserves of JEF United Chiba, but in the end Japan Football Association asked him in 2009 to be in the Technical Committee through a direct request from their chairman, Hiromi Hara.[4] Shimoda accepted and he stayed in charge as a scout for seven years, also briefly managing the Japan U-23 national team in 2013.

In 2017, he was also the reserve head coach at Sint-Truidense, in Belgium.[5] He went back to Japan in 2018, when he accepted the offer of Renofa Yamaguchi FC to be the next head coach.[6]
