After the debt is erased, Louie is left behind on the planet, and the President goes to help Olimar find him (albeit with the intent of collecting the planet's remaining treasure). When switching to him while playing after that, he calls himself "shacho", which is Japanese for "company president" (although it's commonly mistaken as "Schyaco", "Syecho", etc.). He becomes a playable character from then on, and permanently takes Louie's place as a [[leader|Pikmin leader]]. His wife says in some pieces of mail that she is "the REAL boss" of the company.{{cite quote|Your notification report was wrong again. How many times do I have to correct you?

In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', he is seen in various different Data Files that explain controls and other mechanics. Oddly, he has a yellow suit in the files, where he has a black suit with a yellow backpack in ''Pikmin 2''. He is also referenced in some of [[Olimar's Log (Exploration Notes)|Olimar's logs]], such as comparing a similar looking snowman in the [[Distant Tundra]], in which the nose is an [[Iron Ball]] which can be pushed out of place. Likewise, in ''[[Pikmin 3 Deluxe]]'', he is referenced in [[Olimar's Log Vol. 2]], with one actually being a message sent by him complaining about Olimar's lack of updates. He also cameos in [[Bingo Battle]] as the "Lucky Marble". | |||
