There are a lot of things that do not match between what we know about Ikuko and what we know about Yasu, and you need to call them lies to make your theory work. But between Tohya and Battler, their stories are completely compatible.

I pretty much agree with this. I don't really see what the use of the Yasu=Ikuko theory is or why we should complicated the already complicated Umineko by overthinking its every detail that much.
It's just as you say, people only use any vague similarities they might have, some of which are only things we can infer or even cook up by stretching certain bits. I could accept it if there was any substancial hint within the narrative, but it just seems like a pointless theory in the first place.

But I think there is a very big problem in your whole theory. Why would Ikuko call him Tohya rather than Battler? Kinzo called Beatrice's daughter like her mother, I think that's really the least you would expect from someone who wants to think a person as another one.
It's as if she helped him in creating a different personality for himself.

I think that personality had already been created and crystalized before he started remembering anything, so it was probably him who didn't want to be called Battler.

Not to mention stress and the like.

Or we can go Sweeney Todd about this and say his hair went white from the unimaginable things he witnessed in Rokenjima that day.
