College
Nishimura attended Kokushikan University in Setagaya, Tokyo from 1997 to 2000, winning the All-Japan Prime Minister Cup.
Professional
Nishimura began his professional career with J1 League sides Urawa Red Diamonds, but never made a league appearance for the team which finished the 2003-2004 season in second place in J1 League. He transferred to Urawa's cross-town rivals Omiya Ardija, helping the club achieve promotion from J2 League into J1 League in 2004.
Nishimura signed for Portland Timbers of the USL First Division in April 2009. On February 11, 2010 Crystal Palace Baltimore announced the signing of Nishimura to a contract for the 2010 season.
International
Nishimura was a part of Japan’s youth national team system, competing at the U-14 level, but has never been called up to the senior Japan national team.
Playing style
Small in size but intelligent wide flank utility player on and off the ball, Nishimura's constant timely and tireless overlaps creates a wider variety of attacking options for the team. His accurate crosses also provides many scoring opportunities.
