search from specified charactor space

Hello, I'm quite a noobie in programming in UNIX
and I was wondering if it is possible to use 'grep' or similar method
to find PATTERNS from designated location (of charactor)
for example

|param 1 ||param2 |
andrew kim josh
daniel kim michelle
michelle andrew kim

I hope to be able to search up
kim and display only the first 2 lines not the 3rd

i know that cut has -c1-10 so you can specify charactor to cut
but can the grep or other things be done the same? and display the whole line?

thank you very much
regards
