Captain Olimar

Captain Olimar is the fictional main character in the Pikmin series of video games. He hails from the distant planet Hocotate, where he is one of the most well known spacemen currently residing there. Captain Olimar is only about the size of a quarter, or about the size of a fifty pence piece. He can not breathe oxygen, as it is poisonous to him. Considering his size compared to other Hocotatians, and considering the most obvious anagram of his name, it is safe to say he was modeled after Nintendo mascot Mario.

Captain Olimar's log states that his favorite food is Pikpik Carrots. His wife made a soup of them for his last meal before the voyage that began the first Pikmin game. He named the Pikmin after the carrots, due to their similar appearance and the fact that they, like the carrots, come in red, yellow, and blue varieties.
