Olimar's son is a standard young boy, with a cap and green shirt with a white stripe. He seems to be fascinated by his father's adventures, and seems to envy him.{{cite quote|Papa! No fair! No fair! You snuck off and went on an expedition without me! You have to promise to absolutely, positively take me next time! Say it! Say you PROOOOOMISE!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He is addicted to video games,{{cite quote|{{Notes:Repair Juggernaut/journal}}|[[Captain Olimar]] on the [[Repair Juggernaut]]|[[Olimar's journal|his journal]]}} and enjoys them more than studying, in contrast to Olimar's daughter. Judging by some of his mail, he must be in his teenager years, and is anxious with girls.{{cite quote|Papa! There's this girl at school who's kind of nice, and I've been bragging all about you to her. So, I need you to bring me back the coolest souvenir ever!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|Papa! Thanks! There were so many cute girls at the hot springs! I was a little nervous, but I got over it. Next time, you totally have to come with us! We'll have so much fun!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He always yearns for his father to come home, and doesn't like it when his mother becomes strict because of the pay bonuses, asking his father to come home to fix the mess. He seems to be easily won over, as he asks if he should send in Olimar's bonus check for a piece of spam mail.{{cite quote|Lately, I've been getting a ton of mail from a strange person selling designer items at cut-rate prices. It sounds like a deal. Should I send them your bonus check?|Olimar's son|a [[mail|letter]]|rname=<son spam?>}}

Chet is a research task force lead. His name alludes to the {{w|Shetland Sheepdog}}. He is from the planet [[Mihama]]. He also wrote the reports found on the Japanese Pikmin Garden web site. Chet is the leader of the Research group sent to [[PNF-404]] by the Interstellar Federation (a possible reference to Metroid's Galactic Federation) in order to see if it would make as a good living environment, and see what the natural resources are. His crew consists of [[François]], [[Pitunia]], [[Sy]], [[Osa]], [[Kit]], [[Twyla]], [[Sammy]], [[Komo]] and [[Ren]]. Chet is a kindhearted man who is very empathetic, congratulating the player on their hard work hoping that there isn't any more crash victims{{cite quote|You two have saved so many lives. I honestly can't thank you enough.|[[Chet]]|the Rescue Command Post}}{{cite quote|Let's hope that aren't any more crash victims stuck out there.|[[Chet]]|the Rescue Command Post}} and complementing his team. While he is described as a leader, he acknowledges that he doesn't do all that, much mostly ending up napping,{{cite quote|Everyone in my task force does such excellent work, too, that there's not much for me to do. Usually I just end up napping.|[[Chet]]|the Rescue Command Post}} and when not doing that he takes care of environmental concerns so that his team is free to immerse themselves into their research.{{cite quote|I take care of environmental concerns so the others are free to immerse themselves in their research.|[[Chet]]|the Rescue Command Post}} Even if he doesn't do much actual work, his ID card says that he is the glue holding the team together most likely do to his charming personality.{{cite quote|It may seem like he doesn't work at all, but he's the glue that keeps the team together.|[[Chet]]'s ID|the Tablet}} He also frequently mentions how great of a chef [[Ren]] is{{cite quote|Thanks to you saving Ren, I have access to delicious foods again.|[[Chet]]|the Rescue Command Post}} and even once mentions that he wonders if he could whip up a meal using the local wildlife as ingredients, an obvious joke on [[Louie]]'s appetite.{{cite quote|Heh, I wonder if he could whip up a meal using local wildlife!|[[Chet]]|the Rescue Command Post}}

Sy is a research task force recruit that is researching Pikmin ecology. His name alludes to the {{w|Siberian Husky}}. He is from the planet [[Ogura]]. He is quite talented for his age as he entered university at a "very young age"{{cite quote|He entered university at a very young age.|[[Pitunia]]|the Rescue Command Post}} and joined [[Chet]]'s research team to investigate [[PNF-404]]. When Sy landed on PNF-404, Sy did not fall unconscious, rather he began exploring and forgot to check his suit's battery which caused the suit to enter forced-sleep mode.{{cite quote|While exploring the different areas here, I got lost in my observations and forgot to check my space suit's battery. Then, before I had a chance to act, it went into forced-sleep mode...|[[Sy]]|the Rescue Command Post}} Sy is incredibly interested in both [[Pikmin]] and the [[Onion]], making several statements and theories on how Onions operate: one such theory is that the Onion has a mind and will of its own.{{cite quote|Wouldn't that indicate that the Onion has a will of its own?|[[Sy]]|the Rescue Command Post}} Sy and [[Pitunia]] (coworkers on the research team) each have their own theories on the Onion: Pitunia claims that the Onion was artificial or in some way intently created, however Sy believes that because the Onion is alive with it's own will and needs it must mean that it is a natural specimen.

Osa is a research task force recruit, specializing in archaeology. His name alludes to the {{w|Tosa (dog)|Tosa Inu}}. He is from the planet [[Siguray]]. Osa is another member of [[Chet]]'s crew, getting into archeology because "archeology is FUN!" he says that the player character reminds him of [[Kit]] being impressed by what you do. Osa's favorite part of archeology is finding structures and theorizing who or what could have built them as well as finding out more about past civilizations.

Kit is a research task force recruit that's studying raw materials. His name alludes to the {{w|Akita (dog)|Akita Inu}}. He is from the planet [[Siguray]]. Kit is one of many minor characters that can have different color hair this may have to do with the color the leaves were as a leafling {{cite youtube|1b0UNeacmwY|published={{date|4|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|15|January|2024}}|m=32|s=51|showing Kit being rescued as a green leafling and having green hair}}. Kit is another member of [[Chet]]'s team. He is [[Osa]]'s junior and it is thanks to him that Kit became part of the task force. Kit is a lot more slow and methodical compared to Osa, however he admires Osa's energy. Kit has put some research into ores and minerals on [[PNF-404]] as well as [[raw material]], he had figured out that raw material is not a mineral but instead a "highly pure conglomeration of fossilized creature remains" something that has not been observed elsewhere in the universe leading Kit to believe that either it's a process that happens only on PNF-404 or through a "unknown life-fourm". Kit is very interested in minerals in one quote saying "The resources I've found on this planet are exceptional! Did you know that the purity of the minerals in the ground here is..." he cuts off before apologizing for rambling, his favorite mineral is iron and talks about oxidation. Kit claims that when he found a "beautiful ore that shimmers in all the colors of the rainbow" on PNF-404 and "it cracked when I fell to the surface" the ore may be referencing bismuth a colorful and brittle ore, this message also implies that the research crew landed on PNF-404 without issue but as they were taking off they crashed due to the fact that Kit found bismuth "here" and it cracked as he "fell to the surface".

Ren is a member of [[Chet]]'s research task force recruit that is studying flavor profiles. His name alludes to {{w|Pyrenean Mountain Dog|Pyrenean Mountain dogs}}. He is from the planet [[Enohee]]. He enjoys both the art of cooking and the science of herbal remedies admittedly for lessor ills such as a dish that could "make someone relax almost instantly". Like many members of the task force they are incredibly thankful for the player character and encourages them to take breaks. Ren speaks on why he was able to join the task force, saying that it was an "impassioned plea" to Chet is what allowed him to join, and due to the nature of his job as a chef he helps motivate everybody with a well cooked meal. During his stay on [[PNF-404]] Ren has made a "mushroom risotto" with a sprinkle of [[ultra-spicy nectar]] while nobody ate it we know of the effects in one of the many post day dialogues. After leaving PNF-404 Ren plans on finding more flavors and ingredients.
