Rewatch the flashback when they find Oogway's scroll. I just did (got it on my harddrive). Unless you consider Oogway a villain 500 years ago, he says
 * "I was an ambitious young warrior leading a great army. Fighting by my side was Kai. My closest friend.


 * "One day we were ambushed. I was badly wounded. My friend carried me for days, looking for help. Until we came to a secret village high in the mountains. An ancient place of healing…"

And "Warlord" does not always equate Evil/Wicked. Case in point, ''John Carter, Warlord of Mars". But I imagine by the time Kai used the sobriquet, he was well into his evil path.
