Professor Samuel Oak (オーキド・ユキナリ博(はか)士(せ), Ōkido Yukinari Hakase?, trans. lit. "Dr. Yukinari Orchid") is a character appearing in Pokémon the Series. He is a Pokémon professor and researcher who was once a competitive Trainer and is generally considered to be the best in his field of research.
He also hosts post-episode lectures that are exclusive to the original Japanese version, five in total: Pokémon Lecture, Great Pokémon Encyclopedia, Great Pokémon Examination, Pokémon Xtransceiver, and Pokémon Holo Caster.
Professor Oak is a middle-aged man with peach skin, gray hair, and thick, bushy eyebrows. He wears a white lab coat, a light maroon polo shirt, a brown belt and beige pants, and matching brown loafers. He has also occasionally been shown to wear blue boxers, which are usually revealed when a Pokémon gets angry and attacks him.
As a child, Professor Oak had short brown hair with a long fringe on each side and a full fringe in the front. He wore a white buttoned shirt, a brown belt, green pants, white shoes, and an olive green backpack.
Professor Oak lives up the road from Delia Ketchum and her son, and he and Delia often appear together as they are good friends. His known family are his grandson Gary, his cousin Samson and his great-grandfather grand Oak.
His often-forgetful attitude and other antics are also notorious. He also has a hobby of composing senryū, haiku-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes.
In the novelizations written by Takeshi Shudō, Professor Oak comes from a prestigious family. He has two brothers, one of whom is the mayor of Pallet Town while the other is its postmaster. His grandfather was the first Trainer from Pallet Town to receive widespread recognition, while Samuel himself gained prominence after he published a research paper on Pokémon at the age of 20. It is also stated that he became a professor at Celadon University at the age of 25. According to Professor Elm, Professor Oak's studies and research mostly focus on how humans and Pokémon interact with each other.
In "Alola, Kanto!", Professor Oak is very close towards his cousin, Samson Oak, when he visits with Professor Kukui, Ash and his Alolan friends at his lab in Pallet Town.
The last name Oak could possibly originate from the "oak" tree.
His Japanese surname, Ookido, possibly comes from "orchid".
Anime
When Professor Oak was a young kid, he visited a museum. It depicted an Omanyte shell, which impressed the young Oak back then. He appears as a young boy, Sam (Japanese: ユキナリ Yukinari) in the fourth film, Pokémon 4Ever. Ash befriends the young Oak, who, due to traveling from 40 years in the past, is around the same age as him. The revelation that Sam is Oak, while able to be speculated because Oak's first name was revealed in the second movie, Pokémon the Movie 2000, comes only at the end of the movie, when Oak knows that Ash's friend's name was Sam despite Ash never telling him so, and Tracey finding the sketchbook in which young Sam drew Pikachu sleeping with Celebi in Oak's closet. Oak later tutored Professor Elm, who became friends with the professor. When Ash was young, he saw a comedy featuring a Trainer in red clothes, along with his Clefairy and Pikachu. His mom, as well as Professor Oak and Gary, watched this movie as well.
