>I'll leave it your imagination whether they are the same character. By the way, TomTom and Tanya are not the names that I originally gave them. They were initially called Bocke and Tina. Tom Tom may be the name given by Sega for the overseas editions.
I'm guessing Nishizawa is either, misremembering the name and he simply got Boy and Bocke mixed up. You have to keep in mind he is being asked about a game he made more than 20 years ago.

The Japanese Wonder Boy flyer simply calls him "Boy" (pic related if you can read moonrunes), as does the ending screen for the Mark III version (and possibly the SG-1000 version too). The first time the name Bocke ever showed up was in Monster Land.
