'''Koppai''' ({{j|コッパイ|Koppai}}) is the home planet of [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]], the [[leader]]s in {{p3}}. Much like [[Hocotate]], life on Koppai appears similar to that of Earth's, but with some important differences. | '''Koppai''' ({{j|コッパイ|Koppai}}) is the home planet of [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]], the [[leader]]s in {{p3}}.

Koppaites are the dominant species on Koppai. They stand around the size of a nickel, the same general size as a Hocotatian. Unlike Hocotatians, however, Koppaites seem to grow more hair on their heads and have smaller noses. Their eyes appear to be wide open at all times, whereas a Hocotatian's eyes appear small, squinted, and black normally, and widen when startled. Koppaites also have smaller ears that are rounded at the ends, as opposed to the Hocotatians' broader, pointed ones. | Koppaites are the dominant species on Koppai.

Prior to the events of ''Pikmin 3'', it is known that Koppai has quite an expansive population, which lusts heavily for eatables. Its sub-par planning of the production necessary to sustain such a lifestyle eventually leads to a food shortage. ''Pikmin 3''{{'s}} storyline starts with three explorers being sent out on a mission to scour a distant planet for food, so that it may be retrieved to stop the hunger problem. | Prior to the events of ''Pikmin 3'', it is known that Koppai has quite an expansive population, which lusts heavily for eatables.

*Koppaite culture seems to have some overlaps with Earth, as [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] make reference to English idioms in their reports; Alph uses the phrase "double-edged sword", and Brittany says Alph had "gone absolutely bananas" for the [[Slapstick Crescent]] (a banana). | *Koppaite culture seems to have some overlaps with Earth, as [[Alph]] and [[Brittany]] make reference to English idioms in their reports; Alph uses the phrase "double-edged sword", and Brittany says Alph had "gone absolutely bananas" for the [[Slapstick Crescent]] (a banana). | ||
*Koppai appears to have a simple anthem, which becomes a major [[Music (Pikmin 3)#Leitmotifs|motif]] in the game. It can be heard sung by the three [[leaders]] when they are walking without any Pikmin behind them. The only lyric they use is "Koppai” and the tune is similar to the starting cutscene. | *Koppai appears to have a simple anthem, which becomes a major [[Music (Pikmin 3)#Leitmotifs|motif]] in the game.
