Traditional kamisoris are dead straight, there are some hybrids though (kamisori style grind with scales) never heard of a smiling one before though.
Got a picture?

Smiling edge... ura side... not as bad as other side
Omote... Red arrow... weird secondary bevel? Hard to photograph but there are some deep rust spots I'm chasing on bevel north of arrow..... I have learned a lot from it already! I’m guessing bad geometry to start....
I making some progress. Spent approx 30 minutes with 1k to get it this far. think it can be salvaged?

Yeah, looks like it has a crack running along the edge on the second picture, which could have bent the edge and given unequal spine and edge wear.
This is ALOT of work if you want to fix it.
If you do decide to I would tape the spine sooner than later, hone out the edge over the crack, measure bevel angle, and start correcting it from there.
May save you alot of pain to just buy a new one.
This is not an ordinary fix.

It sure does look like a crack, even if it's just folded the problem will kind of be the same.
Where did you buy it? Can you see the crack on the pictures when you bought it? Anything about the edge on the crack in the description?
Send the vendor these pictures, intentional or unintentional, you should get a refund if it was specifically not on the pictures and in the item description.

Don’t traditional kamis have two hardnesses of metal forged together?
