The title of this article is official, but it comes from a non-English source. If an acceptable English source is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

Template:Character-infobox Senchō Kinopio is a character in Paper Mario: The Origami King. He is a pleasant purple Toad with a captain's hat and vest. As it would suggest, he is the captain of the Princess Peach. He requests Mario find the missing passengers and rewards him with a Collectible Treasure for doing so. He has a tendency to use the word "toot" frequently in his dialogue.

History

Senchō Kinopio is first seen after Mario defeats Paper Macho Gooper Blooper, being rescued along with many other members of his crew. He thanks Mario for rescuing him, claiming that he was not afraid of Gooper Blooper and anyone who says otherwise are dirty, mutinous fibbers. Before Mario leaves the ship, the Senchō Kinopio informs him of passengers who had abandoned ship and are stranded in the foggy sea.

After much of the purple streamer district has been cleared, Senchō Kinopio returns to his post and assumes position after Mario has found all passengers stranded throughout the Great Sea, with a message informing of this. When Mario returns to the ship, a Toad informs him all of the passengers have returned, and that the captain wants to personally thank Mario for doing so. Senchō Kinopio is found in the wheelhouse at the front of the ship. When spoken to, he thanks Mario for safely returning all the passengers and rewards him with a collectible treasure of The Princess Peach, comparable to the one in the trophy case in the first floor lobby. From this point on, the Princess Peach is able to traverse small parts of the Great Sea.
