Takeshi Hino (日野剛志, Hino Takeshi, born 20 January 1990) is a Japanese international rugby union player who plays as a hooker.[1] He currently plays for Sunwolves in Super Rugby and Yamaha Júbilo in Japan's domestic Top League.[2][3]

Club career

Hino has spent his entire senior career with Yamaha Júbilo, who he joined in 2012. He only made 2 appearances in his debut campaign, but from the following season, he established himself as a regular and has played over 50 times in the Top League.[4]

International

Hino was one of several Yamaha Júbilo players to receive their first call-up to Japan's senior squad ahead of the 2016 end-of-year rugby union internationals. After being an unused substitute in Japan's win over Georgia on 12 November, he debuted as a second-half replacement the following week in a 33-30 defeat to Wales in Cardiff.[1]
