They write it that way because that's the correct way to write it based on how it's pronounced, not because it's a play on words or because they're stupid.

The actual pronunciation of the kanji (業) is "gou/gō" and the katakana (カルマ) is "karuma". The meaning of the kanji itself is "karma". His name uses the actual English meaning and in Japanese "karma" is pronounced "karuma".
