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.[5]

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]
