He's acting as a young high school student garnered attention, and in 2015, he appeared for the first time on the big screen with the movie "My Story!" and was well-regarded for his TV drama roles that year and through 2016, notably in "Gakko no Kaidan and Aogeba Toutoshi". He won his first leading roles in 2017 with the movie "Demekin" as a leader of a motorcycle gang and later, in the romantic time-travel TV comedy-drama "Ashi Girl", as the young Warring States era samurai lord Tadakiyo Kuhachiro Hagi.

He is also known by his fans as "Icchan" (いっちゃん). Currently, he is managed by the agency Aoao. Ito's car crashed into a motorcycle while driving in Shibuya Ward on the evening of October 28, 2020. Both the driver and the passenger of the motorcycle, a 26-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, were transported to the nearest hospital. The woman suffered serious injuries including a broken leg, while the man had a bruised arm and a sprained neck. He was arrested for an alleged hit-and-run accident. The prosecutors suspended the investigation in March of 2021 after a settlement was reached with the two victims, and the prosecutors could not find enough evidence to prove intent since Ito had returned to the scene at the insistence of a witness after driving a bit over a hundred meters. 이토 켄타로(1997년생, Tokyo, Japan) 는 배우로, 대표작으로 너와 파도를 탈 수 있다면, 鬼の花嫁, 커피가 식기 전에가 있으며, 그 외에도 염신전대 고온저, 굿모닝 콜, 슈츠 - 재팬, 테라스 하우스: 하와이편, 교장, 北方謙三 水滸伝, 트랜짓 걸스, 테라스 하우스: 도시남녀, 딸바보 청춘백서, 우러러보니 존귀한, インシデンツ, 신칸센 변형로보 신카리온: 신카리온 미래에서 온 신속의 ALFA-X 등 다양한 작품에 출연했다. 특히 2026년에는 北方謙三 水滸伝에도 참여해서 활동중이다.
