Because Japanese does not have a specific syllable for "r" or "l". On top of that, "r" is a particularly hard phonetic to pronounce.

Japanese language does not have the "r" sound as it is in English. Instead, they use a sound that is a mix between "r" and "l" called the alveolar tap or flap. This difference in phonetics makes it difficult for Japanese speakers to produce the distinct "r" sound in English.

There is no L in the Japanese language, but some Japanese can still say it with practice. If they cannot pronounce it properly they will most of the time use an R in its place. It's like somebody who cannot roll their Rs trying to roll their Rs, it's possible, but not easy and not natural.Comment:That about says it, yes. If a Japanese person tries to just say "L", it usually comes out as "eru", while saying something like "lock" would come out as "rokku".Comment:There is neither a 100% R nor a 100% L in Japanese, what they can pronounce naturally is a mild R most of times. If to give it percentage it's like 70% R 30% L, they don't say R with emphasis like other languages. Same goes with F and H (fu).
