|image      = Olimar's Wife PIKMIN2NS.png

Olimar's wife is a woman who cares much about her kids, but is usually irresponsible when it comes to money. When Olimar's special bonuses arrive at his house, she often uses the money to buy her kids what they have been wanting.{{cite quote|Olimar, you've worked so hard! Your special bonus arrived today. This is a first, right? I bought the kids a few things they've been wanting. They were so happy! And so was I...|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|We received yet another special bonus! I've come to love you all anew! I decided to take the kids to the hot springs. We'll have enough fun for you too, so don't worry!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}} However, it seems that money can make the best of her. Whenever the bonuses come in, she seems to get stricter on her kids, and might be lacking in common sense, as Olimar's son states that she wants things like sending Bulbie to the circus.<ref name="circus"/> She admits to sometimes going to beaches and theaters all day until the kids come home.{{cite quote|Hey, hon! I'm on a solo vacation right now. Beach by day, theater at night. Ahhh, life is grand! And don't worry, the kids are in school every night until 10! Wheeeeee!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]]}}

After losing a large amount of money, she realizes the mistake she made, and loosens back up into her former self. In the original versions of ''Pikmin 2'', this resulted from her wasting money on lottery tickets;{{cite quote|I think I may have messed up, darling... I lost a small fortune buying lottery tickets. It was all a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in GameCube and Wii versions of {{p2}}}} the Nintendo Switch port alters the mail to say that she was pickpocketed.{{cite quote|I think I messed up, darling... A pickpocket stole a small fortune from me. It's been a nightmare. I'm afraid we're going to have to live lean for awhile.|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}} After time has passed, she pleads for Olimar to come home (very lovingly), promising his favorite meal – [[pikpik carrot]] soup.{{cite quote|I love you! Don't keep me waiting any longer! Please come home! I've made a ton of your favorite soup, and it's here waiting for you!|Olimar's wife|a [[mail|letter]] in {{p2s}}}}

Olimar's son is a standard young boy. He seems to be fascinated by his father's adventures, and seems to envy him.{{cite quote|Papa! No fair! No fair! You snuck off and went on an expedition without me! You have to promise to absolutely, positively take me next time! Say it! Say you PROOOOOMISE!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He is addicted to video games,{{cite quote|{{Notes:Repair Juggernaut/journal}}|[[Captain Olimar]] on the [[Repair Juggernaut]]|[[Olimar's journal|his journal]]}} and enjoys them more than studying, in contrast to Olimar's daughter. Judging by some of his mail, he must be in his teenager years, and is anxious with girls.{{cite quote|Papa! There's this girl at school who's kind of nice, and I've been bragging all about you to her. So, I need you to bring me back the coolest souvenir ever!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}}{{cite quote|Papa! Thanks! There were so many cute girls at the hot springs! I was a little nervous, but I got over it. Next time, you totally have to come with us! We'll have so much fun!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He always yearns for his father to come home, and doesn't like it when his mother becomes strict because of the pay bonuses, asking his father to come home to fix the mess. He seems to be easily won over, as he asks if he should send in Olimar's bonus check for a piece of spam mail.{{cite quote|Lately, I've been getting a ton of mail from a strange person selling designer items at cut-rate prices. It sounds like a deal. Should I send them your bonus check?|Olimar's son|a [[mail|letter]]}}

Bulbie is Olimar's family pet, which is a Hocotatian version of a dog.{{cite quote|rname=circus|Papa! Hurry up and come home! Mama is so nuts! Every day, she orders me to study, study, study! She’s even thinking about sending our dog, Bulbie, to the circus! Help!|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He is briefly mentioned in ''Pikmin'' and ''Hey! Pikmin'', and is described to physically resemble a [[Bulborb]], as the voyage log he's seen in depicts him with eye-stalks, a wide mouth, and two legs (although his front legs might just be hidden). He is also described as very lazy, which is sometimes a characteristic of real world dogs.{{cite quote|{{Notes:Dutiful Watchdog/heypikmin}}|Olimar|the [[Hey! Pikmin logs|log entry]] for the [[Dutiful Watchdog]]}} While Olimar is away from his family in ''Pikmin 2'', Bulbie gets thin after his family forgets to feed him.{{cite quote|Dad, today I'm writing on behalf of Bulbie. Mom and I completely forgot to feed him. He got skinny, but he's been eating a lot of Pikpik carrots, so he'll be OK.|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} He later eats many pikpik carrots and returns to normal.{{cite quote|Dad! Our dog, Bulbie, has been acting like a pig! He ate all of our carrots! Have you really seen creatures on that planet that look just like Bulbie?!?|Olimar's son|a [[Mail|letter]]}} Olimar's wife also threatens to send Bulbie away to the circus during this time.<ref name="circus"/>

P4 Olimar Voyage Log 65.png|A [[Voyage Log|voyage log]] entry from ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' with Bulbie in it.

Olimar's mother and father are briefly mentioned in his notes on the [[Priceless Statue]] and [[Worthless Statue]], respectively. Olimar sees his father as slightly worthless and, at a first glance being impressive, but being considered "cheap" upon closer inspection. Olimar's mother is reminisced by him when writing the notes for the Priceless Statue, and notes how the [[treasure]] is similar to a gift he once gave her for Mother's Day. Although he likes her, he admits there are times where he is not fond of her. Finally, the notes on the [[Taste Sensation]] also mention Olimar's mother, in that Olimar describes the treasure's taste to be similar to something his mother has cooked for him by hand.

Very little is known about Drake. All that is known about him is that he designed the [[S.S. Drake]] and that he knows about some of [[Hocotate]]'s history. Other than that, it is said that Alph spent a lot of time with his grandfather as a child. As a result, he looks up to Drake as a role model. Where Alph's comments on the [[Hermit Crawmad]] say "Although I have heard that an intentional flaw lends a certain charm to one's creations", the Japanese version reveals this was something Alph heard from his grandfather.

Alph also has twelve older brothers, one older sister, and one younger brother. Alph mentioned how his older sister used to always share food with him even when it was scarce. Other than that, Alph doesn't talk much about them. It is implied that [[Yorke]] from {{p4}} is one of Alph's siblings.

Auntie Bea is Brittany's aunt. She is known for her famous fruit pastries on Koppai. Auntie Bea's hair is similar to the color of the [[Dusk Pustules]], and in Brittany's notes on the same fruit, she states that to be a "rebellious streak", implying most Koppaites don't have that color of hair naturally. Auntie Bea's nose is similar in shape to the [[Tremendous Sniffer]], and she is the envy of the family because of her nose. She treated Brittany with lots of love, giving her sweets and such, and Brittany likes her because of it.

== Charlie's family ==

None of Charlie's blood relatives are ever named, but two pets are mentioned. Alph also mentions that he's not sure if Charlie is married or not.

In a few check ins, Alph asks Charlie who "Elizabeth" is, Charlie explains that Elizabeth is his pet duck with which he shares a strong bond with and that he considers her his soulmate. This pet is directly stated to be a duck, so together with Charlie's rubber ducky and Brittany's mention of geese, Koppai must have animal species that closely resembles those of Earth.

In the US version, Brittany's notes on the [[Dawn Pustules]] imply that Charlie may have a pet dog. Charlie is apparently said to have painted his dog to match his favorite color &ndash; the shade of green seen on his spacesuit. In the European version, there is no mention of a dog at all.

== Shepherd family ==

In ''Pikmin 4'', there are several travelers that are not associated with the Rescue Corps that have become stranded on [[PNF-404]]. They will stay at the [[Rescue Command Post]] upon being rescued, and some provide useful functions or give the player [[Mission (Pikmin 4)#Side Missions|side missions]].

Schnauz is a [[treasure]] appraiser. Rescuing him unlocks the [[Treasure Catalog]]. His name alludes to {{w|Schnauzer}}s. He is from the planet [[Siguray]].
