Its not a thing only Kubo does Prody, a lot of people do it and for all sorts of reasons, like Kishimoto named most of Kakuzu's techniques after Mobile Suits from by finding words that were similiar then applying kanji.

Its basically free reign to do whatever you want. Want Magic Hunter to translate as Chicken Fried Rice? Go for it.
