Kinowaki, after spending his youth with Kyoto Sanga, moved to Poland to play with Energetyk Gryfino.[1] After a season in Poland, Kinowaki moved to Latvia to play for Virslīga side BFC Daugavpils.[1] After a season with Daugavpils, Kinowaki moved to India and signed for newly promoted I-League club, Aizawl.[1]

Kinowaki made his debut for Aizawl in the I-League on 9 January 2016 against the reigning champions, Mohun Bagan. He played the full match as Aizawl lost 3–1. After missing a home game against Bengaluru, he scored a goal against DSK Shivaijans, his first goal for Aizawl.[2]

In August 2017 he joined Mohun Bagan as their second Asian player.[3] On 4 December 2017, Kinowaki made his debut for Mohun Bagan against arch-rivals East Bengal in the I-league. He suffered a shoulder injury in his second match against Churchill Brothers and eventually had to leave the stadium in an ambulance. He was ruled out for a month after dislocating a collarbone.[4]
