Right. The original fork name was "GitHon" because hon == book in Japanese.

The author recently renamed "GitHon" to "HonKit" due to Git being protected by U.S. trademark law.

It’s absolutely begging to get an extension called HonKitOnk.

Hope they don't run into any problems with the "honk" memes.
