'''Captain Charlie''' ({{j|キャプテン・チャーリー|Kyaputen・Chārī}}), also commonly referred to as '''Charlie''' ({{j|チャーリー|Chārī}}),  is one of the three playable [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. He wears a spacesuit with a green lapel and a star-shaped badge on its left side. He has an average-sized nose, a dark brown mohawk and a tiny mustache, and like Alph, has eyes that are wide open at all times. His skin is also the most tan out of the three explorers. He, along with [[Brittany]] and [[Alph]], come from the planet [[Koppai]] in search of a new food source for their planet, and serves as the captain of their space-faring vessel, the [[S.S. Drake]]. He also takes a [[Rubber Ugly|rubber ducky]] with him on every mission for good luck. Charlie is a ranger revered as a hero on Koppai, being described by Alph as "one of Koppai's greatest legends".

==Biography==
{{spoiler}}
===Early life===
In ''Pikmin 4'', the character [[Don Bergman]] mentions a partner from his days as a ranger nicknamed Ducky. This partner is implied to be Captain Charlie, as the aforementioned nickname refers to his fondness of ducks.
 
===''Pikmin 3''===
Captain Charlie, [[Brittany]] and [[Alph]], three astronauts from the planet [[Koppai]], are tasked with saving their home planet after their planet's food supplies become nearly depleted. When data collected reveals that [[PNF-404|a distant planet]] is rich with a variety of fruits whose seeds can be cultivated on Koppai to end the food shortage, the crew of three travel to the planet in the [[S.S. Drake]].
 
However, their ship malfunctions and they become separated just before landing, with the cosmic-drive key also being lost, which is mandatory for leaving the planet. The three eventually reunite and begin collecting fruit, harvesting their seeds and using their juice for sustenance while on the planet, and eventually meets up with [[Louie]] and later on [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], who they rescue from the [[Plasm Wraith]]. He then gives them their lost cosmic-drive key, allowing them to return to Koppai safely with their findings.
