* AmbiguouslyRelated: Schauz's appraisals are remarkably similar to the Hocotate Ship's way of speaking and his notes on the Citrus Lump mirrors Olimar's comparison of it to the president's head, whereas Schnauz thinks it looks like the face of "a shrewd friend", suggesting he wrote the appraisal AI used on the Hocotate Ship.

** Nelle the veterinarian from Koppai is mentioned to be related to a famous botanist, who is heavily implied to be Brittany. It's pretty likely that she is related, considering that her co-worker Yorke is stated to be Dr. Drake's grandson and mentions his thirteenth younger brother who is adept with machines (meaning he's Alph's older brother) and she also resembles Brittany a fair bit. Don Bergman slightly resembles Charlie, at that, but he isn't directly mentioned to be related to him. However it is mentioned how he had a rivalry with someone who went by the nickname "Ducky", which could have been Charlie (considering his love of rubber ducks and general duck motif).

The President (real name Le Chacho) in charge of the Hocotate Freight company, and the boss of Olimar and Louie. A very greedy but nonetheless well meaning person who has some poor working conditions for his employees, he is constantly checking up on the captains' progress so the company doesn't go under.

* CallASmeerpARabbit: He's a "dog", which in the Pikmin universe appear to be bug-sized waddling heads with only two legs and an antennae shaped tail. He at least has a fair amount of "dog" qualities to him, such as barking, a great sense of smell, and the friendly demeanor dogs are known for. When discovering a treasure that's a photograph of two real dogs, Collin remarks that they remind him of Oatchi, despite real life dogs being a seemingly unknown species to any of the Captains.
