'''Hocotate Freight''' ({{j|ホコタテ運送|Hokotate unsou}}) is a "long-haul, deep-space shipping company" that [[Captain Olimar]] works for, based on the planet [[Hocotate]]. It's located in a remote countryside somewhere in the southern hemisphere of Hocotate. [[The President]] and [[The President's wife|his wife]] lead the company, and its only known employees are Olimar and [[Louie]]. The company also owns two ships, the [[S.S. Dolphin]] and the [[Hocotate ship]]. | |||
In some pieces of [[mail]], the President's wife claims that she is the real boss of the company and that she does all the hard work.{{cite quote|Your notification report was wrong again. How many times do I have to correct you? It's because of behavior like this that I, the REAL boss, have to work so hard.|The President's wife|a [[Mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|Hey, you think you can loaf because I can't see you?

Hocotate Freight had no known financial difficulties until Louie lost his cargo of [[golden Pikpik carrot]]s, reportedly to a space bunny, while Olimar was stranded on PNF-404 trying to rebuild his spaceship, forcing Hocotate Freight to sell most of its possessions and take out a huge loan. Hocotate Freight sells Olimar's S.S. Dolphin to pay for the debt while he is away, but this still leaves them with a debt of 10,100 [[Poko]]s to repay. | |||
As soon as Olimar returns from the [[PNF-404|planet of the Pikmin]], he is informed of the situation by [[the President]] of Hocotate Freight, and of his ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], being sold; it is confiscated as he arrives. In shock, Olimar drops the bottle cap he has been holding, which was meant as a souvenir for his son. It rolls to the ground, causing the sensors of an old ship behind the President to go wild. The [[Hocotate ship]] proceeds to announce that the bottle cap is worth 100 [[Poko]]s, after which the President orders Olimar to go back to the Pikmin planet with [[Louie]] to find enough [[treasure]] to cover the now 10,000-Poko debt. | |||
With the debt repaid, the Hocotate ship is painted in a gold-colored material, and the President replaces Louie on the adventure to find the remaining treasures. Over time, the company starts turning around thanks to the President's wife,{{cite quote|It may interest you to know I've somehow been able to begin turning the company around in your absence. So, you just go on doing what you like for a bit longer, OK?|The President's wife|a [[Mail|letter]]}} until it eventually opens for business once more when all treasures are collected.{{cite quote|All of the treasures on the list have been found! I see you in a new light, honey. Hocotate Freight is open for business once again! Get right back to work tomorrow!|The President's wife|a [[Mail|letter]]}} | |||
After ''Pikmin 2'', Hocotate Freight goes into debt once more following a failed business venture by the President,{{cite quote|Hocotate Freight is drowning in debt again. I'm not saying it's our company president's fault...because this is an official log.|Captain Olimar|a video log in [[Flower Garden]]}}{{cite quote|The company's new venture went down in flames, and it's dragged our yearly earnings down with it.|Captain Olimar|a video log in [[Tundra]]}} forcing Olimar and Louie to return to PNF-404 and gather even more treasure during {{p3}}. The duo goes missing, and [[Alph]], [[Britanny]] and [[Captain Charlie]] on an unrelated mission later find the Hocotate ship wrecked and lacking its gold paint near the [[Quaggled Mireclops]]' arena. | |||
The Koppaite trio succeeds in rescuing Olimar and Louie, but upon their return to Hocotate, the President chastises his employees for leaving the company's ship behind. This leads to [[Olimar's Comeback]], in which the duo goes on a fourth trip to the planet to repair the Hocotate ship. | |||
