That's your clue, actually! If it's katakana, he's good!
...except Itachi.
Same applies for Tenzou/Yamato... it could be related to heaven, but it could also mean "Dot", "Exhibition" and... OMG... "Weasel".
Now this theory beats all of yours.
Yamato is actually the real Itachi, 'cause Itachi's name is in Katakana and that means he will become good at some time or other. Yamato/Tenzou will become evil, so there.
....whoa, these painkillers make me think funny.
