Physically, Louie has a single yellow tuft of hair and light yellow (beige) spacesuit, decorated with blue lines and blue gloves, like Olimar's spacesuit. Unlike Olimar, Louie is slightly lankier, his nose is rounder and slightly smaller, and his head is pear-shaped.

Louie is also known to be very quiet and apathetic towards efforts he does not value. He does not care about anybody but his grandma, not even his job - he will often abandon ship and attempt to live on PNF-404 forever, or tamper with valuable delivery cargo. Whenever Louie goes rogue, he has a remarkable tendency to survive and brave through dangerous environments extremely quickly and easily, even to [[Dream Den|the depths of]] [[Cavern for a King|extremely long caverns.]]

Louie is actually the one responsible for the debt Hocotate Freight suffers. It was truly he who ate the load of golden Pikpik carrots. When he returned from his first mission, he falsified his report to the President, explaining that a "ravenous space bunny" ate all of the carrots. This is revealed in a cutscene, called "Louie's Dark Secret", unlocked by getting a pink flower for all 30 of the [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin 2)|Challenge Mode]] levels, which is achieved by completing the stages without losing any Pikmin. A section in Louie's [[Pikmin 4 Voyage Log|Voyage Log]] in {{p4}} hints that this was premeditated rather than him simply being unable to control his appetite.

In {{p4}}, Louie first appears during the credits and unites with [[Moss]]. While originally ordered by the President to find Olimar, he couldn't recall what Olimar actually looked like and quickly lost interest in his assigned task in favor of looking for creatures to eat.

After landing in the [[Giant's Hearth]], the [[Pikmin 4 player character|player character]] encounters Louie and Moss dragging away [[Yorke]], shocking Olimar as he was unaware that Louie was on the planet. After defeating Louie and Moss in [[Dandori Battle]]s in both the [[Giant's Hearth]] and the [[Primordial Thicket]], Louie abandons Moss and flees to the [[Cavern for a King]], pursued by the player deep into the depths despite Louie's assumptions that they will give up and go home. On the final floor of the cavern, Louie challenges the player while riding the [[Ancient Sirehound]] in the final boss encounter of the game. After defeating him, Louie will give the player a Side Mission, where the player needs to bring various enemies in caves back to the [[S.S. Beagle]]. For completing the mission, the player receives the [[Extra Hand]], which lets the player carry objects themselves with the power of one Pikmin.

*In the European version of ''Pikmin 3'''s [[Mission Mode]], Louie refers to himself as Louis when being attacked by a creature ("Louis here... Waaah!"). As of now, it is unknown whether this is an alias of Louie, or simply the result of a [[Mistake|misspelling or mistranslation]].
*In the European version of ''Pikmin 3'''s [[Mission Mode]], Louie refers to himself as Louis when being attacked by a creature ("Louis here... Waaah!"). Based on the fact that this alternate spelling of Louie's name is never used anywhere else in the ''Pikmin'' series, this is likely the result of a [[Mistake|misspelling or mistranslation]].
*Olimar's voice is higher-pitched than Louie's, as seen in-game, during [[cutscene]]s, and even in [[Secret File]]s. However, this is not the case in a few cutscenes of ''Pikmin 3'': when Louie breaks out of the S.S. Drake in the [[Garden of Hope]], or when he interrupts Olimar with "Food!" during the ending cutscene, his voice is higher pitched than normal.
