Lars Alexandersson

is a bonus playable character in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2. Lars is part of a crossover with the Tekken franchise and was originally introduced in Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion, where he received an extra costume design created by Masashi Kishimoto; this design formed the basis of his appearance in Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.

Background
Lars's background in the Naruto universe is unknown. In Tekken 6, Lars is a half-Japanese, half-Swedish soldier within the Tekken Force, and is the illegitimate son of Heihachi Mishima, half-uncle of Jin Kazama, half-brother to Kazuya Mishima, and adoptive brother of Lee Chaolan. He travels the world for a time, then leads the Tekken Force in a rebellion against the Mishima Zaibatsu and the G-Corporation, military forces controlled by his half-nephew, Jin Kazama and half-brother, Kazuya Mishima.

Appearance
Lars is a man with green eyes and blond hair that features fringe bangs with upturned spikes in the back and a topknot in the shape of a crescent moon. He wears a patterned red kimono, decorative white obi, and golden armor adorned with a lion, spiral designs, and clawed gauntlets. His outfit includes golden accessories, including a hair stick, rings fastened to the collar of his kimono, and an accessory on the knot of his obi. The back of his kimono features a stylized "46" design as his clan symbol.

Personality
In Tekken 6, Lars is a warm-hearted and disciplined military man, in sharp contrast with the fierce and vengeful Mishima family members to whom he is related. He is a serious and focused fighter, but allows his emotions and sense of righteousness to determine the outcome of his battles.

Abilities
In Tekken 6, Lars uses an unspecified fighting style and has many attacks named after military terminology, weapons, and technology. He can perform Dynamic Entry, as well as a technique known as Silent Entry, though it is unknown if these are at all related to Might Guy's technique. In Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Lars uses his fighting style combined with his speed and with what appear to be lightning techniques. In addition, one screenshot depicts him using what appears to be some kind of minigun, making him the first character to use a firearm in the series.

Trivia

 * The golden lion on Lars's right shoulder is a stylized representation of Pac-Man, Namco's most famous video game character. Namco is the developer of the Tekken series and, as Namco Bandai Games, the publisher of many Naruto video games.
 * Lars's clan symbol is a stylized 46, Sweden's country calling code, referring to his half-Swedish nationality.
