Kirok was the persona taken by James T. Kirk, while suffering from amnesia, as he lived among the American Indians of Amerind. After a time living among the natives, Kirok became medicine chief and married the tribal priestess Miramanee. The name "Kirok" was the result of a near-miss attempt by Kirk to remember his own name shortly after the onset of the amnesia. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")
