+'''The President''' (社長 ''shachō'') 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). He claims to have once been a famous space explorer.
-This, occurring after the events of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', surprises Captain Olimar who just returned to [[Hocotate]]. He is so surprised by the news, in fact, that he drops a souvenir he brought back from his "vacation" for his son. The souvenir, a bottle cap, is collected by the ship, which then evaluates the item as a treasure and worth {{Pokos}}x100, reducing the debt to an even {{Pokos}}x10,000.
+Although The President was not seen until ''Pikmin 2'', he was alluded to by Olimar in his [[Olimar's Voyage Log|daily journal entries]] in [[Pikmin (game)|the first game]].
-==Significance==
-The President is the main source of [[mail]] in ''Pikmin 2'' before the debt has been paid off, his news getting worse as he finds out that the lending agency 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 is left behind on the planet, and the President goes to help Olimar find him (albeit while collecting the planet's remaining treasure). When switching to him while playing after that, he calls himself "shachō" which is Japanese for "company president" (although it's commonly mistaken as "Schyaco", "Syecho", etc.). He becomes a playable character from then on, and takes Louie's place as a [[captain|Pikmin leader]].

+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 acquired 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 golden gloves. 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 as Louie's helmet.
