I've noticed mangaka who use the same name as an animator. Like there are two Maki Murakamis. One is an animator the other is a doujinshika/mangaka. Is there any others?

But could I use the same name as Aika Sakuragi, I thought of tyhe name and it turns out it was already taken...

That depends... do you want to be confused with someone else? Do you want to be referred to as "the other Aika Sakuragi"?

I think the best thing would be to come up with a quick, catchy, totally unique name. Something that will pop, or stick. Like NAOKI, or Pink (maybe with a little less edge, depending on the circumstances). Something that will immediately identify you, and not "that other guy."

Maybe the name "Maki Murakami" is just a common name?

probably. I dont think either of them are psuedonyms. Just like there are two Osamu Tezuka's : the manga'ka and the composer.
