Personal History
Lars was born in the hills of Limburg within the realm of The Netherlands during the spring of 1993. He is the youngest of three, with one sister and one brother. In his earlier years of life, Lars had a humble life. Playing with friends, learning at school and receiving love from his family. Until high school nothing of great importance happens. He plays as a striker for the local hockey team and learns to play the piano and saxophone. While attending high school, an important happening occurs. During his third year, Lars develops a deep interest for the country of Japan. This interest causes him to study Japanese linguistics at Zuyd University. All of this time, he was helped and supported by his family and friends.

His solo adventure would start in 2014. At first his sister would accompany him to the land in the far east, Japan, but his sister would eventually return to the Netherlands. During his time alone, Lars decided to enrol at Shinshu University in Matsumoto, high in the mountains of Nagano. Here he studied more about the Japanese language and culture. From the small hills of Limburg to the high mountains of Nagano, Lars thought he had seen all beauty in the world. But then he met the love of his life, Ayaka. She would support Lars during his internship and remainder of his study of the Japanese language.
In 2018 the two were promised to each other by engagement. And one year later they would be wed in Japan among family and friends. With the marriage, Lars improved the relationship between The Netherlands and Japan. So as a sort of ambassador, he and his wife created the crest of the Golden Rabbit, representing a family branch of the Frusch dynasty. The rabbit was chosen as it is native to Limburg and it lives inside the ground, which is a connection to the family name of his wife. The colours mean Loyalty (Blue), Wisdom (Gold) and Strength (Red). This crest will play some important roles in the future of the world.
