Hey I'm looking not only at the shared ability, but also at the lore.

Ekko seems to value the boy in the picture on the wall: even though he had a hard time fighting the thug, he reverted time once more to prevent him from falling onto the wall, destroying the picture. (Ekko also seems to keep the broken goggle that the one in the picture used to wear) Earlier in the trailer, Ekko stated that people could fix any mistakes with more time, so I think he, too, obtained the time reverting power to fix a mistake. If that mistake is related to the one in the picture, then Ekko resembles Homura in his purpose: Homura reverts time to save Madoka from becoming a magical girl.

Additionally, the devices Ekko and Homura use are also similar: a sand-timer-like device that "keeps time" to revert and a trigger device on the arm (although not appeared in the anime, Homura has a sand-timer whose the sand in the lower half determines how long she can revert time. Due to this, she always revert to one point in the past, much like Ekko always reverts to the time he pulled his sand-timer. The sand-timer seems to be hidden inside the shield on Homura's arm, while the trigger is shown outside).

Anyway, anime is just one source of inspiration for Rito's design. However, while Ekko's time reverting ability may resemble many characters, I still think that Homura fits Ekko best. (Yeah I don't care much about the look, I mean do you expect Rito to create a champ that resembles an existing character clearly? Except for Wukong, who is resembled by so many characters in so many works) But Homura and Ekko seem to be of the same age, and, personally, I think they also share the same personality.
