Heiichiro Ito (伊藤 平一郎, Itō Heiichirō, born 5 October 1990) is a Japanese international rugby union player who plays as a prop.[1] He currently[when?] plays for the Sunwolves in Super Rugby and Yamaha Júbilo in Japan's domestic Top League.[2][3]
Club career
Ito joined Yamaha Júbilo ahead of the 2014–15 Top League season, but had to wait until the following year before making his debut. His appearances during the 2015–16 season were largely from the replacements bench, however the following year, he established himself as a regular in the starting fifteen.[4]
International
Ito 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. He debuted as a second-half replacement in new head coach, Jamie Joseph's first game, a 54-20 loss at home to Argentina.[1]
