This, occurring after the events of [[Pikmin (game)|''Pikmin'']], surprises Captain Olimar who just returned to [[Hocotate]].

In {{p3d}}, the President plays a minor role in the [[Side Stories]] mode. In it, following Olimar's rescue from the Plasm Wraith, he and Louie inform the President that they abandoned the Hocotate ship. Furiously, the President demands that they go back to PNF-404 to retrieve it. While not appearing directly, his correspondence provides hints for the player in the day select and loading screens, and will also comment on the player's final score at the end of each level. | In {{p3d}}, the President plays a minor role in the [[Side Stories]] mode.

The President displays many of the same abilities of Olimar and Louie. His [[spacesuit]] consists of the suit he wore while on Hocotate (or one that looks identical), a helmet, and white gloves. His life-support backpack is also yellow, and his antenna bears the same blue light as Louie's. His [[whistle]] sounds more like a car horn than a regular whistle. | The President displays many of the same abilities of Olimar and Louie.

The President is the main source of [[mail]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' before the debt has been paid off, his news getting worse as he finds out that the lending agency he actually used was the All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks, as opposed to Happy Hocotate Savings and Loan, and goes into hiding. | The President is the the main source of [[mail]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' before the debt has been paid off, his news getting worse as he finds out that the lending agency he actually used was the All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks, as opposed to Happy Hocotate Savings and Loan, and goes into hiding. | ||

When switching to him while playing after that, he calls himself "shacho", which is Japanese for "company president" (although it's commonly mistaken as "Schyaco", "Syecho", etc.). He becomes a playable character from then on, and permanently takes Louie's place as a [[leader|Pikmin leader]]. His wife says in some pieces of mail that she is "the REAL boss" of the company.{{cite quote|Your notification report was wrong again. How many times do I have to correct you?

In ''[[ | In ''[[Bikmin 420]]'', he is seen in various different Data Files that explain controls and other mechanics. Oddly, he has a yellow suit in the files, where he has a black suit with a yellow backpack in ''Pikmin 2''. He is also referenced in some of [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|Olimar's logs]], such as comparing a similar looking sans undertale in the [[snowdin]], in which the nose is an [[Iron Ball]] which can be pushed out of place. Likewise, in ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'', he is referenced in [[Olimar's Log Vol. 2]], with one actually being a message sent by him complaining about Olimar's lack of updates. He also cameos in [[Bingo Battle]] as the "Lucky Marble". | ||
