Ken appears as a downloadable content trophy in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4 using his design from Street Fighter IV. His trophy is unlocked immediately upon downloading Ryu. In addition, Ken Stage, his theme from Street Fighter II, is available as a music track on Suzaku Castle in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U in its original version, its Super Street Fighter II version, and a new remix. In addition, Zero Suit Samus adopted his pose in Ryu's reveal poster for the same game.
Trophy description
- Ken has been Ryu’s number-one rival and best friend since they trained together as children under the same master. In fact, the headband Ryu wears was a gift from Ken! Along with being a very talented martial artist, Ken is also heir to his rich father’s Masters Foundation. But sorry, would-be suitors, Ken’s married and has a son!

Ken appears as an unlockable newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, serving as Ryu's Echo Fighter. His inclusion was leaked on September 21st, 2018 through a screenshot, before being officially revealed on November 1st.
Trivia
- Ken is the second playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series to have two Final Smashes in his moveset, after Ryu.
- Ken is the seventh playable character who hails from a real life location, along with Snake, Little Mac, Ryu, R.O.B., Simon, and Richter.
- Ken is the second third party character to be playable in the same universe as another third party character. The first was Richter.
- Ken's SSB4 English PAL trophy description contains a reference to Guile's iconic phrase from Street Fighter II, "Go home and be a family man!".
- Ken is the only playable third-party character who was not a playable character in his first Smash Bros. appearance, as he only appeared as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. 4.
- Humorously, during development of Super Smash Bros. 4, Reuben Langdon, Ken's English voice actor in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, mistakenly claimed to have portrayed a character in a Super Smash Bros. game, leading many fans to conclude that he had accidentally leaked the inclusion of Raiden or another one of his characters in the then-upcoming fourth entry, before later correcting himself and stating that he had mixed Super Smash Bros. up with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
