Zack Houston (浪花 サダ吉) is the son of Goldie. He is second the owner of Howdy (along with his mother).
Character description[]
Zack lives in a convenience store with his mother, Goldie, and their two pets, Howdy and Tattles. Zack takes after his mother in many ways, getting angry easily, and speaking with a thick southern/Kansai accent. He tends to get frustrated when Goldie breaks promises to him (which are often caused due to her job).
Zack is a boisterous young boy and can be mischievous, occasionally stealing food from his mother's store, and once taking Yume's story book out of her grasp and reading it out of curiosity, despite the fact that she did not feel comfortable sharing her stories at the time. However, Zack is friends with Yume, even though he playfully teased her in Yume, Tell Us a Story! - he did not intend to hurt her feelings, and admitted to this. In the same episode, he also proved to have a good heart despite his mischievous nature, and was dedicated to getting Yume's book back from a flock of crows; then helping her write stories about the Ham-Hams later on, once apologizing and rekindling their friendship. He also enjoys going to Yume's bookstore and reading manga while visiting her there.
