Hi.
This might be a stupid question, but it's been on my mind for I don't know how long.
Why do the Japanese people say "o" or "u" after English words?
For example:

Shaman King"u" (Shaman King)
Key of Twilight"o" (.hack SIGN)
Fight"o" (several)

etc etc.

Why do they do that?
It's not necessarly "bad"... It's kinda characteristic if you ask me.
But I ask you, why?
