The name "Hocotate" comes from Nintendo Japan's headquarters' street address, 11-1 Kamitoba hokotate-cho. From what can be seen, at least part of the planet is desert-like, though the [[President]] notes a location known as the "Hocotate Swamp". The planet shows some signs of flora growing on its surface, including vegetables ([[Pikpik carrot|Pikpik carrots]] for example). When viewed from space, the planet itself is purple-coloured and possesses a set of two intersecting [[Wikipedia:Planetary rings|planetary rings]]. [[Hocotate Freight]] appears to be in or near a built-up area, which suggests that at least some of Hocotate may be densely populated.

The green and blue coloring of the planet likely indicates part of it is covered with plant life and water, but at least part of the planet is desert-like, and a portion of the planet is occupied by a swamp.

The currency of Hocotate is the [[Poko]], a small type of coin that resembles those from the Super Mario series.

===Hocotate's History===
====Formation and Early Geological History====
It may seem surprising, but Hocotate formed out of the same proto solar system in which the Planet of the Pikmin (Earth) formed. Hocotate was one of the many so-called "protoplanets" that orbited the star at the center of the developing solar system. It began to form when the ring of material was just about to disappear, yet extremely rapidly managed to collect all this material into a planet between the size of the third largest terrestrial planet (Mars) and Earth.
 
Hocotate had a highly unstable orbit; something similar to a comet. It passed too close to its parent star during perihelion (closest to its parent star) and was flung out of the solar system, into the dark depths of space. It wandered some several hundred light-years over the course of about five million years before being accepted into ''another'' solar system, except this one was almost finished developing.
 
It passed through the gaseous region of the system and acquired an atmosphere and various liquids, then entered the terrestrial region where it grew some more. The development of these terrestrial planets finished and Hocotate then captured two protoplanest which became its moons. By passing through the outer regions, the gas giants that would later form would not be as big as the ones in the solar system it was previously in. However, it settled in the habitable zone, so life would form if the right conditions were met.
 
The entire planet underwent a melting phase, and all the liquids were evaporated into the atmosphere during this time, causing a the atmosphere to thicken significantly. Several millions years passed and the planet cooled, with heavy elements at the core and lighter elements at the top, similar in structure to Earth. A thin, brittle crust formed over the worldwide magma ocean. It was still very hot though, and primitive volcanoes formed, releasing heat. While it was cooling, the crust thickened.
 
Tens of millions of years passed and finally the atmosphere could dump all the water onto land. Oceans of mostly water mixed with traces of other elements was the primary component of the newly formed oceans. Over 95% of the crust was covered with this early form of water; volcanoes barely poked through the surface of the oceans. The planet remained this way for fifty million years, until the right kind of magma could form to create continents.

Appearance in Pikmin 2.

Hocotate is a pink-colored planet with some blue and green patches, two intersecting planetary rings, and two moons, one red and one gray. Stars are visible from the planet's surface during the daytime, behind any clouds that may be present, indicating a very transparent atmosphere. The green and blue coloring of the planet likely indicates part of it is covered with plant life and water, but at least part of the planet is desert-like, and a portion of the planet is occupied by a swamp. Hot springs are also present, indicating that geothermally heated water exists in the planet's crust, and there is at least one beach, suggesting that the planet has at least one ocean. Hocotate Freight appears to be in or near a built-up area, which suggests that at least some of Hocotate may be densely populated. Hocotate is famous for its pikpik carrots, has a multitude of plants, including vegetables, and animals living on it, and is said to be quite close to Koppai.

Hocotatians are the dominant species of Hocotate and have superior intelligence. Physically, Hocotatians are small and have a humanoid shape, a large head-to-body ratio, large noses, broad, pointed ears, a modest amount of hair on their heads, and eyes that change shape to show emotions and accommodate their normally-invisible eyebrows. They are capable of efficient extraterrestrial exploration and interaction and use extremely advanced technology. Their primary means of communication is speech, and they are able to read and write.
