@koala banana that's actually wrong. Toppu is not a verb so it does not cognate to Toppo. Volitional form has no relevance here.. The word Toppo is just the katakana japanised version of the English word Top lol. They converted it back to Top purely for aesthetic reasons.

I agree. Top is an L. They meant Toppo for sure.

Koala Banana

I can tell you why. Leaving the -o at the end would indicate a misunderstanding of the Japanese language. If you don't know Japanese then of course you'd think there's no problem keeping the -o. But in Japanese the -o would change based on conjugation. It's not a proper part of the word. As an analogy imagine we called a pair of twins "the Andrews." Then they translated their names into Japanese as "Andrews 1" and "Andrews 2." We'd say their keeping the -s shows a misunderstanding of English. The -s was to pluralize, not part of the name. Similar situation with the -o. So ultimately the choice was about not offending the Japanese.
