is the protagonist of the Pikmin series. He was the one who discovered the Planet of the Pikmin. He works at Hocotate Freight and has many interests. He was also the former captain of his personal ship, the S.S. Dolphin. He has a family (wife, son, and daughter) on Hocotate, his home planet.

Captain Olimar was going to take a vacation away from Hocotate for a few days. As he was flying his personal ship, the S.S. Dolphin, a meteor collided with his ship, causing the S.S. Dolphin to fall and start to burn as it was crashing down to an unknown planet, a planet with giant plants and poisonous oxygen filling the air. He was knocked out as the ship crashed on the ground and he was forced out of his unusable ship.

Fortunately for Olimar, he was able to wake up from his crash but he became hopeless as his ship was stuck in the ground. While he was exploring an area he called The Impact Site, he met creatures called Pikmin in an unoccupied Onion. The Red Pikmin were able to reproduce more Pikmin so Olimar was able to find some useful helpers on the planet. As the Pikmin could do many talents on the planet, he was able to find the Dolphin's Main Engine resting in front of his eyes. The Pikmin helped him find it and bring it back to his ship, letting the Dolphin at least lift off. As he was looking for more parts, he discovered more Pikmin, including Yellow Pikmin and Blue Pikmin in two different areas. The wildlife he encountered intrigued him, they were nothing like he has ever seen. The creatures were no match for the Pikmin he commanded, for they defeated them and took their bodies to produce more Pikmin. Luckily for Olimar, he was able to find all 30 rocket pieces on the planet and restore his ship's damage. Before he left, he took a bottle cap from the planet and took notes on the wildlife.

After Olimar's success on the Pikmin planet, he was able to return to Hocotate in his space ship, where he was reunited with his family and return to his normal life. Deciding to land at Hocotate Freight, he met up with the President of Hocotate Freight and a new employee named Louie. After landing his ship, he learned that the company was in debt, having to pay 10,100 Pokos for the loss of a Golden Pikpik Carrot shipment (which was actually caused by Louie, not "Space Bunnies"). Learning that the Dolphin was sold to pay the debt, Olimar was so shocked he dropped a souvenir (a bottle cap) for his son. As the bottle cap rolled past Louie, an old ship commonly called The Ship was able to use its Research Pod to suck up the rusty bottle cap. The Pod analyzed the piece of salvage to be worth 100 Pokos (a one year salary for a normal Hocotate astronaut), which lowered the debt to 10,000 Pokos. The President commanded Olimar and Louie to return to the Pikmin planet and collect more treasure.
