Club career Born in Nagareyama, Chiba, Ibusuki played all his youth football with Kashiwa Reysol. On 2 January 2009, aged not yet 18, he signed a four-year contract with Spanish club Girona. He made his Segunda División debut on 19 April, playing ten minutes in a 0–3 away loss to Hércules CF at the Estadio José Rico Pérez.
Ibusuki spent the following two seasons on loan, with Real Zaragoza B (Tercera División) and CE Sabadell (Segunda División B), and made his debut for the latter side in a 0–0 draw against UE Lleida, again as a substitute. He would, however, be a major contributor to the Catalans' promotion to the second level, starting in 26 of the games he appeared in and scoring ten goals, best in the squad.
In summer 2011, Ibusuki joined Sevilla FC of La Liga, but spent the vast majority of his first season with their reserves in the third tier. On 21 January 2012 he made his first-team debut, coming on for Álvaro Negredo in the 83rd minute of a 1–1 away derby draw against Real Betis.
Subsequently, Ibusuki represented K.A.S. Eupen and Valencia CF Mestalla. In 2014 he returned to his homeland, first with Albirex Niigata then JEF United Chiba.
In January 2022, Ibusuki signed for A-League Men club Adelaide United. He scored his first goal on debut for the club on 15 January 2022, a day after he signed for the club.
Following the suspension of Western United's participation ahead of the 2025–26 season, all players – including Ibusuki – were released from their contracts in September 2025.
On 17 September 2025, Ibusuki moved to India by signing for Indian Super League side East Bengal on a free transfer. On 16 January 2026, East Bengal announced they had mutually agreed to part ways with Ibusuki.https://x.com/eastbengal_fc/status/2011845919428509949
