|weight = ~1 unit|pikmin2 = y}}'''The President of Hocotate Freight''' (シャチョ) is the tertiary protagonist of the Pikmin series, who was first mentioned in ''Pikmin'' and is later seen in ''[[Pikmin 2]]''. He runs into financial trouble after [[Louie]], a new employee, shipping a supply of the very valuable [[Golden Pikpik Carrot]]s, is reportedly attacked by a [["Ravenous Space Bunny"|ravenous space bunny]], who is said to have devoured the entire cargo of carrots. The President takes out a large loan to reimburse the loss of the golden Pikpik carrots, and has no way of repaying the enormous debt. He sells off the only company asset, [[Captain Olimar|Captain Olimar's]] ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], in Olimar's absence, but it only makes a small dent in the enormous loan, as {{Pokos}}x10,100 are still owed. This, occurring after the events of [[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]], surprises Captain Olimar who just returned to [[Hocotate]]. He is so surprised by the news, in fact, that he drops a souvenir he brought back from his "vacation" for his son. The souvenir, a bottle cap, is collected by the ship, which then evaluates the item as a treasure and worth {{Pokos}}x100, reducing the debt to an even {{Pokos}}x10,000.
