Olimar's wife is a woman who has a blue shirt covered with an apron. She cares about her kids very much, but is usually irresponsible when it comes to money. When Olimar's special bonuses arrive at his house, she often uses the money to buy her kids what they have been wanting.{{cite quote|Olimar, you've worked so hard! Your special bonus arrived today. This is a first, right? I bought the kids a few things they've been wanting. They were so happy! And so was I...|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|We received yet another special bonus! I've come to love you all anew! I decided to take the kids to the hot springs. We'll have enough fun for you too, so don't worry!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}} However, it seems that money can make the best of her. Whenever the bonuses come in, she seems to get stricter on her kids, and might be lacking in common sense, as Olimar's son states that she wants things like sending Bulbie to the circus.<ref name="circus"/> She admits to sometimes going to beaches and theaters all day until the kids come home.{{cite quote|Hey, hon! I'm on a solo vacation right now. Beach by day, theater at night. Ahhh, life is grand! And don't worry, the kids are in school every night until 10! Wheeeeee!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}}

After losing a large amount of money, she realizes the mistake she made, and loosens back up into her former self. In the original versions of ''Pikmin 2'', this resulted from her wasting money on lottery tickets;{{cite quote|I think I may have messed up, darling... I lost a small fortune buying lottery tickets. It was all a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in GameCube and Wii versions of {{p2}}}} the Nintendo Switch port alters the mail to say that she was pickpocketed.{{cite quote|I think I messed up, darling... A pickpocket stole a small fortune from me. It's been a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}} In Japanese versions prior to the port, she instead loses all her money at a casino. After time has passed, she pleads for Olimar to come home (very lovingly), promising his favorite meal – [[pikpik carrot]] soup.{{cite quote|I love you! Don't keep me waiting any longer! Please come home! I've made a ton of your favorite soup, and it's here waiting for you!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}}

|age        = Childhood (age unknown)

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 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?>}}

Bulbie is Olimar's family pet space dog.{{cite quote|rname=circus|Papa! Hurry up and come home! Mama is so nuts! Every day, she orders me to study, study, study! She’s even thinking about sending our dog, Bulbie, to the circus! Help!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He is briefly mentioned in ''Pikmin'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'', and is described to physically resemble a [[Bulborb]], being the namesake for the creature, as the voyage log he's seen in depicts him with eye-stalks, a wide mouth, three spots, and two legs. He is also described as very lazy, which is sometimes a characteristic of real world dogs.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Dutiful Watchdog/heypikmin}}|Olimar|the [[Hey! Pikmin logs|log entry]] for the [[Dutiful Watchdog]]}} While Olimar is away from his family in ''Pikmin 2'', Bulbie gets thin after his family forgets to feed him.{{cite quote|Dad, today I'm writing on behalf of Bulbie. Mom and I completely forgot to feed him. He got skinny, but he's been eating a lot of Pikpik carrots, so he'll be OK.|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He later eats many pikpik carrots and returns to normal.{{cite quote|Dad! Our dog, Bulbie, has been acting like a pig! He ate all of our carrots! Have you really seen creatures on that planet that look just like Bulbie?!?|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} Olimar's wife also considers sending Bulbie to the circus during this time.<ref name="circus"/>

Olimar's mother and father are briefly mentioned in his notes on the [[Priceless Statue]] and [[Worthless Statue]] respectively in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] and [[New Play Control! Pikmin 2|New Play Control!]] versions of ''Pikmin 2''. Olimar sees his father as slightly worthless and, at a first glance being impressive, but being considered "cheap" upon closer inspection.{{cite quote|At first, this object looked impressive, but closer inspection reveals it's just a cheap statue. In many ways, it reminds me of my father.|[[Olimar]]|his [[Olimar's journal|journal]] about the [[Worthless Statue]]}} Olimar's mother is reminisced by him when writing the notes for the Priceless Statue, and notes how the [[treasure]] is similar to a gift he once gave her for Mother's Day. Although he likes her, he admits there are times where he is not fond of her.{{cite quote|It looks a lot like a present I gave my mom for Mother's Day. I miss her...sometimes.|[[Olimar]]|his [[Olimar's journal|journal]] about the [[Priceless Statue]]}} Finally, the notes on the [[Taste Sensation]] also mention Olimar's mother, in that Olimar describes the treasure's taste to be similar to something his mother has cooked for him by hand.{{cite quote|Some things on this world can't be understood, no matter how much I analyze them. For instance, this is the first time I've tasted this, yet it has a nostalgic taste. It's inexplicable! It tastes like something my mom has made for me by hand.|[[Olimar]]|his [[Olimar's journal|journal]] about the [[Taste Sensation]]}}

Very little is known about Drake. All that is known about him is that he designed the [[S.S. Drake]]{{cite quote|So, Alph, your grandfather was the one who designed our spaceship, right?|[[Charlie]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} and that he knows about some of [[Hocotate]]'s history. Other than that, it is said that Alph spent a lot of time with his grandfather as a child.{{cite quote|Yep. I learned an awful lot watching my grandfather work while I was growing up.|[[Alph]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} As a result, he looks up to Drake as a role model. Where Alph's comments on the [[Hermit Crawmad]] say "Although I have heard that an intentional flaw lends a certain charm to one's creations", the Japanese version reveals this was something Alph heard from his grandfather.

 

=== Alph's sister ===

Alph mentions how his older sister used to always share food with him even when it was scarce.{{cite quote|I miss my big sister, especially. She always shared her food with me, even when it was scarce.|[[Alph]]|his [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]]}} Other than that, not much is known about her.

 

Alph also has twelve older brothers and one younger brother, making Alph the 14th oldest sibling, though Alph doesn't talk much about them. However, in other languages, Alph is instead said to be the 13th oldest, and the gender of his siblings, other than his younger brother and older sister, is not mentioned. It is implied that [[Yorke]] from {{p4}} is Alph's oldest sibling.

[[Brittany]] also has only one known member of her family &ndash; Auntie Bea. According to the Japanese [[Pikmin Garden]] website, Brittany is an only child. However, [[Nelle]] is implied to be a relative of hers.  

Brittany's Auntie Bea treated Brittany with lots of love, giving her sweets and such, and Brittany likes her because of it.{{cite quote|The taste reminds me of the sweets Auntie Bea gave me as a child. The big, greedy stone doesn't leave much room for juice, but maybe someday it will grow into a tree in Auntie Bea's back garden and I can repay her kindness. She was so sweet to me. |[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Velvety Dreamdrop]]}} She is known for her famous fruit pastries on Koppai.{{cite quote|The taste of this one takes me back to Auntie Bea's famous fruit pastries.|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Velvety Dreamdrop]]}} Auntie Bea's hair is dyed a similar color to the [[Dusk Pustules]], and in Brittany's notes on the same fruit, she states that to be a "rebellious streak", implying most Koppaites don't have that color of hair naturally.{{cite quote|The color reminds of something... Oh! Auntie Bea's hair! She has such a rebellious streak...|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Dusk Pustules]]}}{{cite quote|Auntie... I hope you're able to color your hair on your own.|Brittany|a [[check-in]] conversation}} Auntie Bea's nose is similar in shape to the [[Tremendous Sniffer]], and she is the envy of the family because of her nose.{{cite quote|This specimen has a sweet flavor and a soft texture...kind of like my Auntie Bea. The shape reminds me of her nose, too. So elegant! So glamorous! She's the envy of the family with that nose...|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Tremendous Sniffer]]}} However, in languages other than English, Brittany does not mention a nose. Instead, she describes her aunt's elegant appearance, and expresses wanting to be like her. Brittany's aunt goes unnamed outside of the English and NOA French versions.

 

None of Charlie's blood relatives are ever named, but two pets are mentioned. Alph also mentions that he's not sure if Charlie is married or not.{{cite quote|Could that be his wife's name? I don't even know if the captain is married.|[[Alph]]|his [[Pikmin 3 voyage log|voyage log]]}}

In a few check ins, Alph asks Charlie who "Elizabeth" is, Charlie explains that Elizabeth is his pet duck with which he shares a strong bond with and that he considers her his soulmate.{{cite quote|Elizabeth is my soul mate. Leave it at that.|[[Charlie]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} This pet is directly stated to be a duck,{{cite quote|GEESE ARE FILTHY CREATURES! ...Elizabeth is a duck.|[[Charlie]]|a [[Talk/Small talk|small talk]]}} so together with Charlie's rubber ducky and Brittany's mention of geese, Koppai must have animal species that closely resembles those of Earth.

 

In the US version, Brittany's notes on the [[Dawn Pustules]] imply that Charlie may have a pet dog. Charlie is apparently said to have painted his dog to match his favorite color &ndash; the shade of green seen on his spacesuit.{{cite quote|He painted his room, his fingernails, and (I heard) even his dog this color. Bleh.|[[Brittany]]|her [[Brittany's notes|notes]] about the [[Dusk Pustules]]}} In the European and Japanese versions, there is no mention of a dog at all.

In ''Pikmin 4'', there are several travelers that are not associated with the Rescue Corps that have become stranded on [[PNF-404]]. They will stay at the [[Rescue Command Post]] upon being rescued, and some provide useful functions or give the player [[Mission (Pikmin 4)#Side Missions|side missions]]. Their names are inspired by different {{w|Canidae|canines}}.

Schnauz is a [[treasure]] appraiser. Rescuing him unlocks the [[Treasure Catalog]]. His name alludes to {{w|Schnauzer}}s. He is from the planet [[Siguray]]. When chatting to him after his rescue he reveals that he loves treasure both for its monetary value, and also for its sentimental value, although one line of dialogue suggests that the former is more important.{{cite quote|It's such a thrill to see how much these might sell for... Eh, I mean, my thirst for treasure knowledge is unquenchable!|[[Schnauz]]|the Rescue Command Post}} He plans on finding more treasure on other planets as soon as he is off of this one.{{cite quote|If and when treasures are found on another planet, I can assure you I will fly there straightaway.|[[Schnauz]]|the Rescue Command Post}} Schnauz's notes on returning treasures in the Treasure Catalog are heavily based on the [[Hocotate ship]]'s [[Treasure Hoard#Sales pitch|sales pitches]]. Due to translation differences, this is more apparent in the Japanese version.

But no new worlds had been found since I was born.|[[Jin]]|the Rescue Command Post}} As soon as Olimar's SOS broadcast was heard, Jin immediately flew over to [[PNF-404]].{{cite quote|Nothing was going to stop me from coming here.

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".

Twyla is a research task force recruit that enjoys geology. Her name alludes to {{w|Rottweiler}} dogs. She is from the planet [[Conohan]]. When Twyla agreed to join [[Chet]]'s research task force, something urged to her by her professor, she was confident, however, ever sense landing she has felt completely out of her depth, as she is much more comfortable in a lab environment then out on the field. After the crash Twyla doesn't understand how the rest of the task force can remain calm about their situation. Twyla also remarks about [[Keesh]] (a student who also crashed) and how Keesh keeps asking geology questions to her that even she doesn't know the answers to. Twyla, not wanting to not be seen as smart has made countless excuses to avoid Keesh. After the player rescues [[Komo]], Twyla talks about her, saying that she is shy like her and she helped Twyla not be to scared. Twyla describes Komo as a irreplaceable friend she listens sincerely to everything Twyla talks about and Twyla does the same. After Komo is saved Twyla starts to have a different view on past events, saying that now they have a great opportunity to study [[PNF-404]], saying that her professor was right to push Twyla into this task force in order to get some out of lab experience. She goes outside the base camp with Komo to study the planet's soil and it's water purifying properties, and when Keesh asks more questions about geology she starts being honest saying that she doesn't know, but they are both in the midst of their education and can learn together.

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.

Santi is a freelance pilot. His name alludes to {{w|St. Bernard (dog)|St. Bernard dogs}}. He is from the planet [[Nijo]], and according to him, he was born right next to [[Bernard]]. He has has a bizarre form of bad luck where Bernard will always be present (and always succeeding) at the next location he goes to, even when Bernard is completely unaware of Santi's next destination. It took Santi about three months to get his pilot's license, and Bernard was, much to his chagrin, his driving instructor. Santi was flying the participants of Satella Travel's Uncharted Planet Tour when their ship crashed.
