I recommend at least having some grounding in Huayan, as that is a major component of Kukai's work. There's less literature on Shingon than, say, Zen. But that is changing. Here's some recommendations.
>Kukai: Major Works
>Icons and Iconoclasm in Japanese Buddhism
>Shingon Buddhism: Theory and Practice
>Kukai on the Philosophy of Language
>Kukai: Japan's First Vajrayana Visionary
>The Matrix and Diamond Mandalas in Shingon Buddhism
>The Weaving of Mantra
>A Buddhist Theory of Semiotics
