'''The President''' ({{j|社長|Shachō}}) is the owner or co-owner of [[Hocotate Freight]], and a playable character in {{p2}}. He also plays a minor role in {{p3d}} during the [[Olimar's Comeback]] side stories. In {{p4}}, he is depicted in both [[Olimar]] and [[Louie]]'s logs.

Although the President was not seen until ''Pikmin 2'', he was alluded to by Olimar in his [[Olimar's voyage log|daily journal entries]] in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]]. The only known family member is his [[Minor characters#The President's wife|wife]], who occasionally sends [[Mail|messages]] to him.

==Appearance and personality==
Physically, the President has a single strangely shaped black tuft of hair, a black spacesuit, and a yellow backpack. Unlike Olimar, the President is larger, and his nose is smaller.
The President is known to be immensely greedy, wanting money more than anything else. He also is quite uncaring, as he immediately sends Olimar off to repay the debt in ''Pikmin 2'', not even giving him a chance to see his family. He also can be selfish, giving the gold-plated [[Hocotate Ship]] a plush chair and TV for himself, while Olimar's seat remains unchanged.
Despite this, he immediately chooses to go to [[PNF-404]] to save Louie, despite the immense danger, though the idea of finding more valuable treasure likely influenced his decision. In addition, he complements Olimar and Louie greatly in the side stories of ''Pikmin 3 Deluxe'' when they complete a mission, especially with a platinum medal. The President's most caring moment is shown in the Treasure Catalog notes on the [[Gigaton Bag]], where Olimar says that one of his first missions was to deliver a satchel full of coins to his wife, which is why Olimar remains loyal to the President and thus Hocotate Freight despite everything.
