Noike Kamiki Jurai (神木 ノイケ 樹雷, Kamiki Noike Jurai^?) is a fictional character in the Tenchi Muyo! anime series, debuting as a major character in the third OVA series and appearing in a cameo in Tenchi Muyo! GXP.

Noike Kamiki Jurai, or Noike Sakazua, is the adopted daughter of Seto Kamiki Jurai. She had been abandoned by her mother when said mother had married another man. She was in the orphanage when Seto found and adopted her.

She grew up as part of the Jurai royal family, as well as becoming a member of the Galaxy Police, where she was a partner to Mihoshi Kuramitsu. It was during this period that by chance she was reunited with her natural mother and confronted her on why she was put up for adoption. Later on, she had been introduced as a fiance to Tenchi Masaki. Naturally, Ryoko and Ayeka were not happy about the whole situation. Later, she revealed to Ryoko and Ayeka that she was actually keeping an eye on Tenchi and his household, which, containing Ryoko, Washu, two princesses of Jurai, and Tenchi himself, is perhaps the largest concentration of power in the universe.

Also, it seems that Noike was continually suffering from visions of Tenchi rescuing a young girl. She exhibited this problem when she first arrived at the Masaki carrot garden and fainted from the experience.

It was also discovered, after their encounter with Z that Noike had extra cells in her body, cells which had Dr. Clay's personal logo on them. With Lady Tokimi's help, the cells were removed, and they constituted themselves into the girl in Noike's vision. The girl, it turned out, was the female half of Kagato, which had been discarded by the fiend. Clay had later place his seal (his personal logo) on the female Kagato, which prevented her from completly merging with Noike, which Z used to spy on the Masakis through Noike's eyes. Thanks to Washu, Clay's influence was then removed from her, after which the female Kagato re-fused herself permanently to Noike.

When Noike first met Tenchi she previously had long hair, but shortly after she moved in she had it cut. It turned out that she used to have her hair that way before she was adopted by Lady Seto, but Noike claimed on official occasions she would wear a wig. Noike also helps out Sasami with the household chores and is very good at keeping Mihoshi in line. Noike also has some medical training which she used to help Tenchi when he was bedridden with a fever. Noike even bought a truck to help Tenchi with his work in the field as well as use it for other chores. She also offered to give Ayeka and Ryoko lessons in driving the truck... but NOT Mihoshi.

As a member of Jurai's royal family, Noike is bonded by a third-generation Juraian tree ship, Kyoko. However, the ship is actually a secret design, giving it the power of a second-generation ship. This was in response to Ryoko's attack on Jurai, where she easily smashed through Jurai's defense network and no ship lower than a second-generation could defend against her. Also, Kyoko has a 'terminal' body which looks like a little green blob, which acts as a wireless connection to the ship at all times. This blob can act jealously sometimes, especially if someone doesn't pay attention to it.
