On March 22, Hino defeated Yasufumi Nakanoue in a singles match, after which he deemed his opponent "weak", starting a storyline rivalry between the two. Hino's entry to Wrestle-1 also led to interpromotional matches between Kaientai Dojo and Wrestle-1, including a match on April 13 at Kaientai Dojo's twelfth anniversary event, where Hino and Hiroki successfully defended the Strongest-K Tag Team Championship against Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo. Back in Wrestle-1 four days later, Hino and Hiroki suffered an upset loss in a non-title match against Nakanoue and rookie Seiki Yoshioka. This led to a match at Wrestle-1's May 4 event, where Hino and Hiroki successfully defended the Strongest-K Tag Team Championship against Nakanoue and Yoshioka. Following the match, Hino, noting that he held victories over Kai, Kaz Hayashi and Shuji Kondo, declared himself the ace of Wrestle-1 and later in the event attacked Kai, after he had made his own claim for the title.

On July 29, Hino entered a special tournament, which was set to determine a new top stable in Kaientai Dojo. In the first round of the tournament, Hino and Ayumu Honda were defeated by Shiori Asahi and Yuki Sato. As the winners of the match, Asahi and Sato were given the right to recruit one of the losers as part of their stable, and chose Hino to join them. Later that same event, Hino, Asahi and Sato were defeated in the semifinals by Hiro Tonai, Kaji Tomato and Jonathan Bada. Once again, the winners chose Hino to join their stable.

During the event, Hino wrestled three times; first in the opening six-man tag team match, where he, Antonio Honda and Daisuke Sasaki were defeated by Hikaru Sato, Kengo Mashimo and Yukio Sakaguchi, and later in the scheduled main event, an Omega reunion match, where he, Makoto Oishi and Shiori Asahi defeated Hiroki, Ryota Chikuzen and Taka Michinoku. Following the main event, Hino also wrestled Quiet Storm to a five-minute time limit draw.

On July 8, Hino formed the Monster Army stable with Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki, Hoshitango, Masa Takanashi and Yasu Urano. The group employed a military theme as each member was given a rank, with Hino taking the rank of a sergeant. On July 15, Hino and Urano received a rematch for the KO-D Tag Team Championship, but were again defeated by Kudo and Oishi. On July 22, the Monster Army was disbanded and split up into two opposing camps, Hino, Honda and Urano, again known as Crying Wolf, and Takanashi, Sasaki and Hoshitango, known as Familia. Crying Wolf disbanded on September 19, when Antonio Honda turned on Yasu Urano in the aftermath of DDT General Manager Amon Tsurumi ordering all stables in the promotion disbanded. Hino was then announced as a member of a new stable formed by Masa Takanashi and Toru Owashi. However, in his first match as a member of Takanashi's stable on September 30, Hino turned on Takanashi and joined Antonio Honda, Daisuke Sasaki and Hoshitango to reform the Monster Army, with Honda claiming that Takanashi and Urano were the ones who ruined the original stable. DDT's 2012 ended with a storyline, where Sanshiro Takagi brought in the New Japan Pro Wrestling tag team of Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima to stop the Monster Army, in particular Antonio Honda, who had begun stealing other wrestlers' clothes. At the final event of the year on December 23, the entire Monster Army was defeated in a four-on-three handicap match by Takagi, Tenzan and Kojima, after which Hino, Honda, Sasaki and Hoshitango were all supposedly arrested by the New Japan duo. On January 27, 2013, Hino's 28th birthday, he, Honda and Sasaki defeated Team Drift (Keisuke Ishii, Shigehiro Irie and Soma Takao) to win the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship. They made their first successful title defense on March 20 against the team of Danshoku Dino, Gabai-Ji-chan and Makoto Oishi.

On June 23, Monster Army, with Hoshitango replacing Daisuke Sasaki, regained the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Championship from Golden☆Rendezvous～. However, the three lost the title in their first defense on July 21 to the team of Danshoku Dino, Kensuke Sasaki and Makoto Oishi. After recovering from an elbow surgery, Hino returned to DDT on March 21, 2014, to take part in Monster Army's final match together, where he, Honda, Sasaki and Hoshitango defeated Gorgeous Matsuno, Gota Ihashi, Sanshiro Takagi and Toru Owashi.

In their first match together, the four defeated Daisuke Sasaki, Masa Takanashi, Mikami and Soma Takao in an eight-man tag team match, with Hino pinning Sasaki for the win. Crying Wolf remained undefeated for the remainder of the year, culminating on December 31, when Hino and Urano defeated Keisuke Ishii and Shigehiro Irie to win the KO-D Tag Team Championship. At the following event on January 8, 2012, Crying Wolf suffered its first loss, when Daisuke Sasaki pinned Urano in an eight-man tag team match.

On April 1, Hino, Urano and Keita Yano entered the annual Anytime and Anywhere battle royal, a match combining elements of a regular battle royal and a ladder match. Yano exited the match, after Hino helped him grab one of the letters hanging over the ring, giving him the right to book his own DDT event. Eventually, the match came down to Hino and Urano, with Hino pinning his tag team partner for the win to earn the first shot at the new KO-D Openweight Champion, Masa Takanashi.
