Dark Star (ダークスター) is a fictional character in the 2007 video game No More Heroes. He is an assassin who lives in a large castle hidden far away from Santa Destroy. He is ranked first in the United Assassins Association. He wields a sword-hilt like device, the Horse Saber, which can project a large, dragon-like tendril of energy, and knows much about Travis Touchdown's past, claiming to be his father. He is killed by Jeane before Travis' ranking match against him starts. Jeane claims that he is lying, and points out that Travis' biological father is dead. He is a parody of Darth Vader from the Star Wars series.
