Plot Overview
=List Countdown

Revealing him to be the fifth strongest Nami-Middle student.
Kokuyo Land Invasion
Ken throws dead dogs at Tsuna's group presumably to move them closer to the Botanical Dome. When Takeshi falls through the roof, he jumps in after him. He is amazed at how ditzy Yamamoto is in thinking that the dogs were actually puppets. Ken begins their battle by charging Takeshi, and when his opponent evades, he uses his momentum to leap into the air, put in the Monkey Channel, and then do a spinning wall-jump back towards Takeshi, who brings his bat out to defend. Ken uses the jaws of his Channel to destroy the bat with little fanfare. His opponent is visibly angered, but first asks him how he managed to change his appearance. Ken equates putting a new disc into a video game console to him putting teeth into his mouth to change his Channel. He demonstrates by switching the Monkey Channel for the Kong Channel, and heaving Takeshi into the glass walls of their arena. Off-screen, he switches to the Wolf Channel and reveals that because of the dead dogs' blood of Takeshi, he can smell him, while he can't be seen. And Ken proceeds to launch a flurry of quick attacks, which Takeshi dodges, trying to protect his arm. Reborn kicks Tsuna down into the arena, and Ken changes targets to the much weaker person. However, Takeshi throws a rock to get him to refocus on him. Ken charges and sinks the teeth of the Cheetah Channel deep into Takeshi's arm. But he fell for the trap and with a swift sword-butt to the temple, is out.
He taunts Tsuna's group after Takeshi and Tsuna are helped out of the hole. Revealing that he managed to instantaneously switch to the Opossum Channel to effectively play dead. Bianchi proceeds to drop a large rock on his head.
Ken reappears when Hayato is winning against Chikusa. He takes advantage of the fact that he has his back to him, and digs the claws of an unknown Channel deep into Hayato's chest. The debillitating blow, that won them their fight. As he watches his and Chikusa's opponent stumble and fall down a flight of stairs, they dawdle and give him time to release Hibari. He is defeated off-screen and tossed out of the window.
Ken reappears along with Kakimoto Chikusa|Chikusa]], Bianchi, and Hayato under the possession of Mukuro Rokudo. He is defeated by Tsuna with the X-gloves, and is last seen being dragged off by the Vendice.
