Janice Em—an acronym alias for Junctioned Articifial Neuro-Integrated Cybernetic Entity M1—is a fictional android from the universe of Robotech. She would have been a major character in the storyline of the aborted animated sequel series Robotech II: The Sentinels, which was later realized as both a series of a novels and comic books, and went on to play a key role in the animated feature, Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles.

Janice was created by Robotech producer and writer Carl Macek as part of the expanded story he crafted for the series. Like fellow Sentinels character T.R. Edwards, Jance was originally intended to debut in 1986's Robotech: The Movie; according to Macek's notes in the art book, Robotech Art 3, she would have been an artificial intelligence brought to Earth aboard the spaceship SDF-1 and used by the government of Earth for propaganda and cover-ups, subsequently rebuilt into an android by existing Robotech character, Emil Lang, during the time that passed between the movie and The Sentinels.

As Robotech: The Movie was an English dub of the direct-to-video Japanese feature, Megazone 23, "Janice" was to be the English-language version of the artificial intelligence from that movie, Eve Tokimatsuri. Per Macek's original vision, the movie would have taken place during the early stages of the Macross portion of the Robotech storyline, in the early 2010s, but this intention was lost when film distributor Cannon Films requested major revisions to the story. In the final Canon-approved cut, the timeframe of the film was advanced to the year 2027—a point in time when Janice would not have been able to feature in the story. Consequently, the plan to make Eve and Janice the same character was discarded, but it was Eve who remained the artificial intelligence from the SDF-1; Janice was henceforth simply referred to as a creation of Lang and Lazlo Zand, built on Earth in 2013.

The withdrawal of partner Matchbox Toys ultimately caused The Sentinels to be cancelled after only approximately three episodes' worth of footage had been completed. The remainder of the Sentinels storyline, including the revelation of Janice's true nature and her sacrifice in order to end the conflict, was subsequently told through a series of five novels penned by Jack McKinney, based on Macek's outline for the unproduced cartoon. A comic book adaptation of the Sentinels storyline was also produced by Jason and John Waltrip from 1988 to 1996, across two publishers, but was cancelled before it could reach its conclusion.

Janice Em has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
