Heiichiro Ito (伊藤 平一郎 Itō Heiichirō, 5 October 1990) is a Japanese international rugby union player who plays as a prop.[1] He currently plays for 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]
