The commissioner's business venture, Gourdon's pumpkin patch began as nothing more than a passion project that eventually grew into a massive business. Kabocha sprung up around it as many workers made a home in the comfortable plains just south of the fields they tended. Nearly the entire populace of Kabocha town, and a large number of temporary workers, are employed by Commissioner Gourdon, the humble Hylian botanist that owns and operates the company. A stern but fair man, Gourdon has a rather pragmatic view on the balance of nature and civilization and used his passion for pumpkins to amass a fortune that he now uses to improve his business, Kabocha, the forest, and other conservation efforts across the land.
