Template:Infobox leader The President is the owner of Hocotate Freight, and is featured in Pikmin 2. He is called 'Shacho' in the Japanese version (which is Japanese for President) and is often called by that name because he says it when you switch to his character (although it's commonly mistaken as 'Schyaco', 'Syecho', etc.).
Biography
He runs into financial trouble after Louie, a new employee, shipping a supply of the very valuable Golden Pikpik carrots, was apparently attacked by a ravenous space bunny who is said to have devoured the entire cargo of carrots (although this is just a lie to cover up what really happened). The President took out a large loan to reimburse the loss of the Golden Pikpik carrots, and has no way of repaying the enormous debt! He sold off the only company asset, Captain Olimar's ship, the S.S. Dolphin, in Olimar's absence, but it only made a small dent in the enormous loan, as 10,100 Pokos are still owed. When Captain Olimar returns to Hocotate after the events of Pikmin, he is so surprised by the news the President gives him that he drops a souvenir that he brought back from his "vacation" for his son, a bottle cap (worth 100 Pokos), which the ship collects to make the debt an even 10,000.
The President will be the main source of mail before you erase the debt, his news getting worse as he finds out that the loan agent he actually used was the All-Devouring Black Hole Loan Sharks, as opposed to Happy Hocotate Savings and Loan, and goes into hiding.
After you erase the debt, Louie accidentally falls out of the ship, and the President goes to help Olimar find him. He becomes a playable character after that, and takes Louie's place as a Pikmin leader. Template:Endspoiler
Traits and Abilities
The President displays many of the same abilities of Olimar and Louie. Strangely, even though Louie had his spacesuit on with all the upgrades that the player had aquired at the end of the game, the President's spacesuit displays all of these power-ups. This spacesuit consists of the suit he wore while on Hocotate (suggesting that it is airtight), a helmet, and some golden/yellow gloves to cover his hands. His life-support backpack is also golden. His whistle sounds more like a car horn than a whistle. His spacesuit's antenna bears the same blue light that is also emitted from Louie's helmet.
