Pedro Ken was born in Curitiba, Paraná. In 2007, when Coritiba won the Série B, Pedro Ken, Keirrison and Henrique were called Trio de Ouro (in English: Golden Trio) because of their important role in the championship, young age and good prospects.[1]

On 7 December 2009 Pedro Ken left Coritiba to sign for league rival Cruzeiro.[2] He signed a five-year contract with the club.

On 1 June 2011 Pedro Ken joined Avaí on a season-long loan deal.[3]

On 22 December 2012, on an exchange for Nílton, Cruzeiro loaned Ken for Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama until the end of 2013 season.[4]

In January 2016, Ken went on trial with FC Terek Grozny,[5] going on to sign a 2.5-year contract with Terek on 3 February 2016.[6] He left the club in March 2017.[7]
