Toast coconut in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, tossing once or twice, until most flakes are golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small plate.
Using a paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the oranges (being careful not to remove too much flesh). Segment the orange, catching any juices in a bowl, then squeeze any excess juice from the off-cut pith into the bowl as well. Add the sesame oil, maple syrup and rice wine vinegar to the bowl with the orange juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and whisk to combine.
Pour the dressing over the kale and toss until evenly coated. Add the orange, red onion, smoked tofu, coconut and sesame seeds and toss again.
