The Pikmin Captains are the characters of whom the player has control. In the first game, there is only Olimar, an employee of Hocotate Freight who crash-landed on the planet. In Pikmin 2, Louie is added as a second character, also controlled by the player; it is possible to switch between the two playable Captains with the press of a button.

The captain is followed by Pikmin he has called out of the Onion or plucked, and by lone pikmin he touches or whistles at. The captain can throw pikmin for various purposes, or attack monsters themself when they have no Pikmin.

After having collected 10,000 Pokos to repay the debt, Louie is lost and is replaced by the President of Hocotate Freight, the third playable character of the Pikmin series.
