Captain Olimar (Japanese: キャプテン・オリマー Kyaputen Orimā) is a well-known space captain from planet Hocotate and the main recurring protagonist of the Pikmin series. Captain Olimar has a wife, two children, and a pet dog-like creature named Bulblie, all of whom he supports by working for the interplanetary delivery company Hocotate Freight. One day, when he was searching for a vacation spot a meteorite struck his ship, the S.S. Dolphin, and he crash-landed on an uncharted planet home to plant-like creatures named Pikmin. With help from the aforementioned Pikmin, he was able to gather all the parts of his broken ship and return back home. He is also a good friend and partner of Louie.
Captain Olimar is voiced by composer Kazumi Totaka. This is a relatively unknown fact, as Olimar often does not speak during the events of the games themselves. Within supplementary material, such as the bonus Expedition Logs for Pikmin 3 and the Pikmin shorts, Totaka portrays Olimar with a surprisingly-deep voice that often shocks fans.
In the bad ending of Pikmin, which plays should the player not collect the 25 ship parts needed for the S.S. Dolphin to take off, the Pikmin under Olimar's command carry the unconscious captain to their Onion. After a few moments, Olimar is spit out, with a stem protruding from the top of his head in a manner not unlike those possessed by the Pikmin. Olimar's appearance as a Pikmin, often dubbed "Pikmar" by fans, is not canon to the events of the Pikmin series, as Pikmin 2 begins with Captain Olimar returning to his home planet.
