Its called weiqi in Chinese where the game originated over 4300 years ago I played it a lot during my last trip to Japan where its called go or igo Here in the United States its commonly known as GO

That's correct! Weiqi, Go, or Igo are all different names for the same ancient board game. It has a rich history and is still widely enjoyed and played today in many countries around the world, including China, Japan, and the United States.
