Because K stands for strike out and Dice is how you pronounce the first syllable in his name.

That is how you pronounce his first name and it's easier to spell. It's becoming his nickname as well. I have already see the name on t-shirts.

the reason why he got that name is because thats how you pronounce Daisuke.... in japanese "dai" is pronounced die and the "u" is silent...so his name is pronounced "dice-k"
