Is Splatoon Based on Japan?
Yup, Splatoon takes a ton of inspiration from Japanese culture, especially with its vibrant street fashion, music, and cityscapes. Those inklings are basically kawaii squid kids running around in a neon Tokyo wonderland!

Nah, Splatoon just has its own unique vibe that happens to have some Japanese elements. It's more about inklings being rebels with a graffiti twist.
As someone who lived in Japan for a year, the chaotic blend of traditional and modern aesthetics in Splatoon definitely reminds me of some Tokyo areas.
