After 1858, Kido was based at the domain's Edo residence, where he served as liaison between the domain bureaucracy and radical elements among the young, lower-echelon Chōshū samurai who supported the Sonnō jōi movement.

After radical elements under Takasugi Shinsaku gained control of Chōshū politics, Kido was instrumental in establishing the Satchō Alliance which proved to be critical in the Boshin War and the subsequent Meiji Restoration.

His younger sister's grandson was Tokyo politician Kido Kōichi ( 木戸幸一 ).

Kido was the grandson of Kido Takayoshi, one of the leaders of the Meiji Restoration.

Kido also claimed after the war that Emperor Hirohito was never aware of the plans to attack Pearl Harbor until after the attack occurred.

Historically, the oligarchy that came into power after the Meiji Restoration of 1868 had a strong representation from the Chōshū province, as Itō Hirobumi, Yamagata Aritomo, and Kido Kōin were from there.

Through the mediation of Sakamoto Ryōma of Tosa Domain ( present day Kochi Prefecture ), Satsuma military leaders Saigō Takamori and Okubo Toshimichi were brought together with Katsura Kogorō ( Kido Takayoshi ) of Chōshū.

In June 1867, Kido Koin and Itō Hirobumi ( Chōshū samurai ) called upon Heco under the guise of being Satsuma officials, and asked questions about the United States and England, especially regarding the U. S. Constitution.

However, both Emperor Hirohito and the Lord Privy Seal, Kido Koichi, believed that it would be inappropriate for a member of the Imperial Family to serve in that position, as he could be blamed for anything which went wrong in the war.

The triumvirate of Ōkubo, Saigō and Kido formed a provisional government.

Following the overthrow of the Tokugawa bakufu, Kido claimed a large role in the establishment of the new Meiji government.

Kido lost his dominant position in the Meiji oligarchy to Ōkubo Toshimichi, and resigned from government in protest of the Taiwan Expedition of 1874, which he had strenuously opposed.

Following the Osaka Conference of 1875, Kido agreed to return to the government, and became chairman of the Assembly of Prefectural Governors that the Ōsaka Conference had created.
