p.s. in the spirit of pedantry: 看板 (kanban) = "signboard"; 板 (ita) = "board" From a wikipedia glance, "kanban" was used here in the sense of a particular process-control method, and although the term "kanban" here is pretty clearly derived from 看板, I suppose now it could be considered a distinct term. Still, "kanban board" really sounds redundant...
