Captain Alph

Captain Alph is a playable character in the Pikmin series. He was created by Shigeru Miyamoto for the game Pikmin 3 probably meant to replace the series protagonist Captain Olimar. For some odd reason his eyes, along with Captain Charlie and Captain Brittany always stay open as opose to Olimar's and Louie's eyes which only open when they're suprised. He in an engineer and his ship, the S.S. Drake was given to him by his grandfather. Alph is over all a positive and confident character.
