Captain Olimar hails from the planet {{s|pikipedia|Hocotate}}. As a Hocotatian, Olimar has a humanoid appearance that displays a number of distinct traits: he is extremely minuscule in size (being ≈1.9 cm, ≈0.75 in tall), has a large head-to-body ratio, a bulbous nose, pointy ears, small tufts of hair and hyphen-shaped eyes that, during moments of surprise, comically bulge out and appear similar to human eyes. | Captain Olimar hails from the planet {{s|pikipedia|Hocotate}}.

Facets of Captain Olimar's personality are revealed via [[pikipedia:Olimar's journal|his journal]] and [[pikipedia:Olimar's voyage log|voyage log]]: he is caring and dedicated to [[pikipedia:Olimar's family|his family]], values his camaraderie with the Pikmin to the point of worrying if they stray too far or feeling shame if an entire group of them is killed off, considers himself a patron of the arts, and mentions that he "always had a way with animals" (the latter of which is further reinforced via his {{s|pikipedia|Piklopedia}} entries). Although he has a generally nice personality, Olimar also shows signs of snark in some {{iw|pikipedia|Treasure Hoard}} entries, and acknowledges in some journal entries that his dedication to his job can cause him to feel distant from his family. | Facets of Captain Olimar's personality are revealed via [[pikipedia:Olimar's journal|his journal]] and [[pikipedia:Olimar's voyage log|voyage log]]: he is caring and dedicated to [[pikipedia:Olimar's family|his family]], values his camaraderie with the Pikmin to the point of worrying if they stray too far or feeling shame if an entire group of them is killed off, considers himself a patron of the arts, is very professional in the zoology field, has a gardening hobby and mentions that he "always had a way with animals" (the latter of which is further reinforced via his {{s|pikipedia|Piklopedia}} entries).

Captain Olimar debuted in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] game, ''{{b|Pikmin|game}}'', where he is the playable character. His first adventure details how his vacation is derailed due to his ship, the {{s|pikipedia|S.S. Dolphin}}, crash landing on [[pikipedia:PNF-404|an uncharted planet]] after it is struck by a meteor. Upon waking from unconsciousness, he discovers that the S.S. Dolphin has been severely damaged and that his life support system will expire in thirty days; this is further compounded by the planet's atmosphere being rich in Oxygen, which is poisonous to Hocotatians, and thus prompts Olimar to immediately begin repairing his ship. | Captain Olimar debuted in the [[Nintendo GameCube]] game, ''{{b|Pikmin|game}}'', where he is the playable character.
