Of course. I do not mean to imply that outright plagiarism is all fine and dandy, but I don't really see basing your character on another and giving them a similar name as outright stealing. From what I've see of the preview, this thief seems to have his own personality even if he is similar to Gen.
For instance, I honestly believe that Gen is based on Howl.
I haven't seen the movie, yet but I will be going to it next week. We'll see how my official opinion forms from there.
