Biography
Born in Osaka Prefecture, Kinoshita was a high school classmate of Daisuke Ohata. He studied at Kyoto Sangyo University, during which time he became a Kansai representative. [2]
Kinoshita was picked for Japan's under-23 national side in 1997 and first represented the senior team at the 1998 Asian Games. He often played in the second row although his first two Japan caps was at prop against Tonga and South Korea in 2002. A two-time All-Japan Championship winner with the NEC Green Rockets, Kinoshita retired from rugby in 2010 and switched to American football, playing for X League side Obic Seagulls as an offensive player.[3][4]
