Mariko Konjo wants to use the magical Maneki Neko to get the ultimate boyfriend. The Maneki Neko declares himself the ultimate boyfriend after the wish is made.

Genma plans to use the Maneki Neko to have a full head of "luscious" hair again. In his ending, he reaches the statue in panda form. As there is no hot water available, Genma writes his wish down on his signs  but unfortunately the Maneki Neko stature is illiterate.

Tatewaki plans to use his wish for a date with either Akane or the pigtailed girl. In his ending, Kuno chooses the pigtailed girl for the date.

Child Hinako spends her wish to get a bunch of candy and other sweets.

Shampoo wants to have a date with Ranma and succeeds in her ending.
