Would the japanese designers who created this game be familiar with American kid friendly live action 90s game shows or is any similarity just a coincidence??

It's the kind of thing Japanese developers would study up on to appeal to Westerners, at least. Remember, this was intended to be Nintendo's Call of Duty.

There are other influences to Splatoon's aesthetic, too, like Japanese graffiti art and urban culture in general.
