Kashimoto was born in Mufulira where he started his soccer career at Mutende Community Centre with whom he won the Dunlop Cup organised by the Copperbelt Amateur Football Association.
[1] Although short of stature, Kashimoto quickly became the fulcrum of Wanderers' midfield, winning a single league title in 1978 and several cup competitions.
Picking on the translation of the second part of his name in some languages, he was nicknamed 'Kashi-Fire,' Kashimoto refused to give up his full-time job when Wanderers became one of the four clubs under Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM) that turned professional in January 1990 which put him at odds with the team's management.
After a three-year absence, Kashimoto was recalled and featured for Zambia in Olympic Games qualifying victories over Botswana and Uganda in 1987.
[3] After retirement, Kashimoto joined Mufulira Blackpool as assistant coach to former Wanderers teammate Michael Kapembwa and the duo helped the council-sponsored team win promotion back to the Zambia Super League after an absence of 20 years.
He returned to Wanderers in 2001 but sponsorship problems saw the giants of Zambian football being relegated in 2002 after which he coached Division I sides Prison Leopards of Kabwe and City of Lusaka.
