Keiko's acting career began when she played Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) in the Sailor Moon live action TV series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon from 2003-2004. Her first significant film role was in Mamiya Kyodai where she was influenced by the director Yoshimitsu Morita, to concentrate on acting rather than modeling. She initially concentrated on films, playing lead roles in Cherry Pie and Dear Friends. She also landed a brief role in the US film The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. In late 2007, she landed her first TV drama lead role in Mop Girl. In 2008, she played the heroine in Homeroom on the Beachside, Fuji TV's Monday primetime drama for the summer season. As this was a headline drama slot for a major network, her career pushed forward as a result.
