The '''main character of ''[[Pikmin 4]]''''' (referred to by [[#Naming|various nouns]]) is a customizable character whose name and appearance can be changed in a character creator on each save file. They are the newest recruit to the [[Rescue Corps]], sent to rescue them from a crash landing after trying to rescue [[Captain Olimar]] for the same reason. They, along with [[Oatchi]], are the only playable [[leaders]] in the game's [[Story Mode]]. Their ID card mentions they are from the planet [[Karut]], which cannot be changed or customized. Their appearance can also be altered mid-story after rescuing the [[castaway]] [[Puddle]].
 
The '''main character of ''[[Pikmin 4]]''''' (called the '''player avatar''' or simply '''your avatar''' in the game's control menus) is a customizable character whose name and appearance can be changed in a character creator on each save file. They are the newest recruit to the [[Rescue Corps]], sent to rescue them from a crash landing after trying to rescue [[Captain Olimar]] for the same reason. They, along with [[Oatchi]], are the only playable [[leaders]] in the game's [[Story Mode]]. Their ID card mentions they are from the planet [[Karut]], which cannot be changed or customized. Their appearance can also be altered mid-story after finding a certain [[castaway]].


Unlike previous characters, this character is silent for the majority of gameplay, only speaking with other characters via text prompts selected by the player (usually only between 2 to 3 options).

As this character is fully customizable, much of the game's promotional material as well as the game's own introduction addresses the character by addressing the viewer in second-person perspective (such as saying "you" or "you're"). Additionally, only gender-neutral pronouns and other terms are used when referring to them.

The default design of the character also appears in the [[Pikmin comic]].

== Appearance ==
The default design that is shown in trailers, promotional art, and in game demonstrations is obtained by choosing the first option in all of the character creator's steps. In this style, they have a full head of unkempt red hair, one long eyelash atop each eye, rosy cheeks, a small spherical nose, a small circular open mouth, an orange antenna light, as well as a full red [[spacesuit]] with white gloves and boots.

The other [[Rescue Corps]] members will wear uniforms in the same spacesuit color that the player selected. Additionally, the [[S.S. Shepherd]] , [[S.S. Beagle]] and [[Oatchi]]'s collar will also share the color. Additionally, if the spacesuit color is the same as a castaway's spacesuit color, the castaway's spacesuit color will change.

== Naming ==
Being a customizable character meant to serve as the player's {{w|avatar (computing)|avatar}}, this character does not have a fixed name. Their name is set in the character creation screen by the player. Most of the time characters need to refer to them in-game, they will do so by this name.
 
The character is otherwise referred to using nouns such as:
* '''Player avatar''' or simply '''your avatar''' in the game's control menus
* '''Newbie Rescue Officer''', '''Rescue Officer''', or '''newbie''' in the [[Pikmin comic]] and by [[Rescue Corps]] members (notably [[Dingo]])
* '''Rookie''' by [[Dingo]], who also refers to them as "our star rookie". [[Captain Olimar]] also refers to the player character as "a rookie" in the prologue.
* '''New blood''' by [[Yonny]]
* '''Explorer''' on the game's [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/pikmin-4-switch/ North American website]
* '''Avatar''' internally.

== Trivia ==
==Trivia==
* While the game allows the player to give their character the same name as another character, nothing special happens in this situation.
*The other [[Rescue Corps]] members will wear uniforms in the same color that was selected in the character creator. Additionally, the [[S.S. Shepherd]] and [[S.S. Beagle]] will share the color.
* If the player customizes their character to look identical to another character, then that character will point this out in their first conversation.{{cite youtube|DxjxXNK65n0|showing the different dialog that appears when the player talks to a character when the two look identical.}} It should be noted that this interaction can only be seen once.
* The color of the spacesuit the player chooses directly affects the coloring of character and object textures such as the [[Rescue Corps]] spacesuits and [[Oatchi]]'s collar in-game and in menus and the ID Info Cards.
* The home planet of the main character, Karut, is named after Nintendo's original name, Nintendo Karuta. It also refers to Japanese playing cards.
* When the player chooses their character's face type, a faint sound very similar to the {{w|Mii Channel}} option confirmation sound will play.
