That's because the official name title of the avatar is "Gakupo Kamui" or "Kamui Gakupo"...Like others Vocaloid, it's "Kagamine Len", "Kagamine Rin", "Megurine Luka".

Due to the Japanese pronunctiation of English words and their own language, there is no possible way for letters like "L" and "R" to be in their language. The Japanese language has a system where an alveor consonant is in place of letters like those. Japanese speakers will tend to mix alveolar lateral approximant sounds/noises with alveolar approximant sounds/noises and this is mainly due to them not having the alveolar lateral approximants in their own system of language.

With that being said, when a Japanese speaker tries to speak in English, words/names like "Luka" will come out sounding like "Ruka". I can only suspect that Karen-T didn't write it as "Kamui", but as "Camui", because there is no such way to write an EXACT way for names like "Luka" or "Len" without going into full description of the English language, and that may be hard for a Japanese born speaker and writer...I'm not sure, but I also believe that this goes for "Kamui".

Or, it can just be seen as this way: lots of people in Japan like to use words and letters from other languages when making things such as song lyrics, a lyric video, in mangas and in anime, etc...They use the other language's letters and words to make more emphasis on what they are trying to get through and to make it seem more special than others.

Either way, you should probably just ignore all of what I said...I'm not even sure half of this LONG comment made any sense XD
