Career Tsuda came through the youth academy of Nagoya Grampus Eight. In 2005, he was promoted to the first team together with Ryota Takahashi. At Nagoya, he was mainly used as a substitute and was also occasionally deployed as a Midfielder.
In 2010, he was loaned to J2 club Tokushima Vortis. Tsuda played as a regular and scored 16 goals that season, finishing 2nd in the J2 scoring rankings.
