I believe the rules state you are allowed to do both as long as you don't claim it as your own, however I personally believe if you take an already prexisting character you should have enough of an imagination to give them a unique name (or at the very least a variation of the original name such as one of my characters called Shin Mori who in his respective manga/anime was called Aoishi Shinamori)
