Career
Ken started his career with Kawasaki Frontale. He stayed with them for a few years before joining Thespa. His time at Thespa was successful in the 2009 season, scoring 23 goals in 43 games in the league. He joined Vissel Kobe shortly after. On 30 June 2012, Tokura scored a long-distance goal from outside the penalty box and celebrated his goal with a "Mario Balotelli-style" celebration, which resembles the celebration after Balotelli's second goal against Germany in Euro 2012 Semi Final.
