Kawamura was born in
Niigata on 17 May 1989. She played for her local club
Albirex Niigata from 2004 to 2012. She moved to
JEF United Chiba in 2013 and
Vegalta Sendai in 2014. She was selected Best Eleven in
2015 and
2016. In 2017, she returned to
Albirex Niigata. On 4 April 2017, the
North Carolina Courage signed Kawamura before the start of their first season in the
National Women's Soccer League. She appeared in 8 matches, starting 7, as a defender before tearing her
ACL and
meniscus on 1 June 2017, in a match against the
Chicago Red Stars. The injury required surgery, and the Courage placed Kawamura on the season-ending injury list. After recovering for injury Kawamura made her 2018 season debut on 3 June against the
Houston Dash. Kawamura suffered another
ACL tear on 29 July during the final of the
2018 Women's International Champions Cup ending her season early due to injury for the second straight year. The Courage subsequently did not renew her contract, and no NWSL teams claimed her rights from the re-entry wire. ==National team career==
