Zach

Zach was a character in the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated television series.

He was a young boy who was a big fan of the Ninja Turtles, so much that he wanted to be like them. In his initial appearance, he said to be "almost fourteen", however, he appears to be de-aged to preteen.

At first he was a nuisance to the Turtles, but eventually proved his skills and they affectionately called him their "Fifth Turtle".

He has an older brother named Walt, who picks on Zach for believing that the Turtles are real. He does meet them and, after proving himself a hero, becomes the "Sixth Turtle". Zach's parents are apparently aware of their sons' friendship with the Turtles.

He had an over-active imagination, as demonstrated in "Zach and the Alien Invaders".

His best (and possibly only) friend was a girl named Caitlyn, who also wanted to be a "Turtle". She was not his girlfriend, and perhaps the feeling was mutual.
