He served as the head of a Japan-U.S. joint project on Biological Timing, where he was responsible for sending many Japanese scientists to the United States (1993–1995). While he was the president-elect of the Japanese Society of Chronobiology (2005 to 2010), he co-organized the biannual meetings of the European Biological Rhythms Society (EBRS) and held the first world congress of chronobiology in 2003 at Sapporo as the founding president of the World Federation for Societies of Chronobiology (2001–2011). He has tried to establish a forum among Chronobiologists in Asia as the council chief of the Asian Forum on Chronobiology (2015).

In 2017, Ken-Ichi and Sato Honma were part of the team at Hokkaido University that discovered that voltage rhythms in the SCN were synchronized, a finding that became the basis for the theory that the SCN utilizes these synchronized rhythms in order to maintain tissue-wide rhythm.

In 2016, he published an article that emphasized the role of physical activity, specifically in blind and elderly people, in the entrainment of circadian rhythms. The authors demonstrated that physical activity could also shift the plasma levels of melatonin.
