Koppai
Koppai is the home planet of Alph, Brittany, and Charlie, the leaders in Pikmin 3.
The growing population of Koppai lusts heavily for eatables, and sub-par planning of the production necessary to sustain such a lifestyle eventually leads to a food shortage. The premise of Pikmin 3 revolves around the fact that the aforementioned leaders are sent out on a mission to retrieve food that can be found on PNF-404. The seeds of any aliment found on PNF-404 will be sent back to Koppai, in order to cultivate it there and stop the shortage.
A data file left by Olimar and later found by the leaders mentions Hocotate. Whichever leader is active at the moment the file is retrieved will then recall that Hocotate is a planet a few solar systems away with a population that is interested in monetary gains rather than food. Olimar is simply referred to as a man that must love his family very much or has a lot of time to kill. While a vague description, the idea that the people of Hocotate and Koppai are unfamiliar with each other or even different species entirely seems unlikely. Given the leaders' equipment in-game, it seems that oxygen is as poisonous to them as it is to the Hocotatians, which, apart from the obvious physical similarities between the two peoples, shows a further common feature.
Trivia
The name "Koppai" comes from Nintendo's founding name, "Nintendo Koppai", back when they were still a card company.
