What does "gobang" come from?

gobang means a Japanese game played on goban, a go board. The appearance of goban looks like table structure. And I live in Kyoto, Japan. In Kyoto city, streets are laid out on a grid (We call it “goban no me no youna (碁盤の目のような)”). They are why I named this project "gobang".
