Because the Japanese are crazy like puppies.
It seems to be a combination of "coolness" (like when people have chinese letters on their t-shirts), and style (like when people might use roman numerals instead of the regular ones).
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

For dramatikally enhanzed Koolness, I rekommend to replaze all "c" Karakters with "z" or "k", depending on the Pronunziation. Kapitalize all Nouns.
But ironically, it's exactly the other way round in German. No cool word may have a "z" or "k" in it, and it's fashionable to have everything in small letters.

Yes, but since I am not an idiot, it's not overly relevent.
