Why is Suzaku's name in katakana?

[nelotizapu.livejournal.com]

I was looking at the japanese site (http://www.geass.jp/world_03.html) and saw that Suzaku's name is in katakana, even though all the rest of the japanese (and chinese) character's have kanji names. (Well, except for Kallen, but she's a half.)

Is it because he's an "Honorary Britannian"? Or is he a half also? XD

Well, his family is in kanji, but still... it's weird that his given name isn't. :|

...and looking at Kallen's wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kallen_Stadtfeld), I finally find out why I was confused about it being Karen or Kallen. It's both? Then again, it puts her given name in katakana even it's "Kōzuki Karen". So how is it known if it's Karen or Kallen when it's in katakana either way?

I'm confused. XD

Gasp! My first time using a tag!

No clue on Suzaku but I could have sworn Kallen Stadtfeld was her Britannian name while Karen Kozuki was her Japanese name.

It says right in the article:

Her birth name is Karen Kōzuki (紅月カレン, Kōzuki Karen)

Kallen is a Britannian-Eleven girl, who believes herself to be a Japanese person at heart and prefers to be known by her birth name.
