We had a lot of hassle over trying to explain this sort of thing on the wikia, but a lot of anime characters end up looking the same sometimesbecause of the genre or similair art styles there are. You can literally see how some older series impact future generations of manka as well, for example, the impact of the mangaka for DBZ on Fairy Tale and One Piece is noticable at times. That why I don't get the fuss made over designs, the combination might sometimes be uique to that character in particular in anime, buit there are so many similairites between characters at times its not worth even creating a fuss over things.

Part of the attraction some One Piece fans quote for One Piece is due to its more outragous character designs, because it makes it stand out more when everyone else is producing stuff that is similair to stuff others' are producing in that genre or others.

I won't say this is something restricte to Japan, because how many superheroe comics are there in America? And how many DC or Marvel characters have similair costumes? :-/
