If the question asks whip is the person that Buddhism is named for, in the same manner as Christianity is named for Jesus the answer is simple - Buddhism is named for Siddhartha Gautama, a 6th century BCE Indian prince turned mendicant teacher known as the Buddha. If the question asks who has the same attributes as Jesus in Buddhism (son of god, protector, savior of mankind, forgiver of sins, etc.) then the answer is again simple - nobody, Buddhism does not have a god, salvation, divine intervention, etc.

Was Jesus a budhhist?
Jesus would not have been Buddhist. Although Jesus shared some (not all) beliefs that are also core to Buddhism, such as being kind others, using moderation, and sharing what you have, Buddhism was still in early stages in Asia when Christ walked the Earth. It had not spread as far as the Roman Empire, where he resided.
Did Christ ever spend time with the Monks in the Himalayas?
This is an old myth, that Jesus must have spent time in a Buddhist community, probably in the Himalayas, because many of his teachings could be seen as reflecting Buddhist influences. However, the similarities are not close, and there is no reason to believe that Jesus ever went near a Buddhist community. The physical barriers to travel between Palestine and Tibet are so great that it seems preposterous that a poor carpenter could have made the journey.
Is the Story of Jesus just a Rip off from A Roman God?
Jesus existed but the stories of the bible can never be proven. Much that is attributed to Jesus has in fact been adopted from other religions. For example: A comparison between Jesus Christ and the Indian god Krishna reveals some 29 identical or similar incidents in their lives. There are also many similarities between Buddhist stories and those in the New Testament. Many of the sayings attributed to Jesus can be found in the Buddhist scriptures. Even the well-known Sermon on the Mount for example has been shown to have been taken almost word for word from a manuscript written centuries before Jesus was born.

Do Buddhist monks believe in God?
