Yoshimura is from Kumamoto, Kumamoto[1]. He belonged to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department after graduation from Nihon University in 1973.
In 1973, when Yoshimura was a student of Nihon University, he won a bronze medal at the World Championships held in Lausanne.
He was expected to get gold medal of World Championships in 1977 or Olympic Games in 1980[1]. But he couldn't because World Championship was cancelled and Olympic Games was boycotted by Japanese Government[1].
