This is spontaneous.

There's no such thing as an "original story" just original ways to go about them. TG has a lot of influences and similarities to other stories, though if someone is so picky as to dismiss it right away because of that they going to be hard pressed to find something that falls into their criteria.

I'm not sure how commen the name "Kaneki" is, but anime/manga is a pretty old medium at this point. I reckon there are a variety of "Kanekis" out there.
