The [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]] are developed by {{w|Nintendo EAD}}, in Japan. The main game [[region]] is, hence, Japan. Because Pikipedia is an English wiki, its [[Pikipedia:Canon policy|canon]] focuses mostly on the US version of the games. However, Pikipedia includes some information from the Japanese version of the games, specially considering that besides the language, few major regional differences exist.

In order to have that information, Pikipedia pages may contain characters in Japanese, followed by a Romanization and a translation to English.
