Yes, It was created by the same guy that created Super Sentai and both have run on television for close to half a century (KR is 42 yrs old and sentai is 37 yrs old)

Obviously, there are key major differences between the two but they do share some elements as well.

As The Superhero Taihen net short has put it, one series could not have existed without the other. In 1975, Kamen Rider's ratings were plummeting and so the execs at TV Aishi asked Mr. Shotaro Ishinomori to create a new show to take its place on the Sunday morning time slot while Kamen Rider would run at night. Inspired by his earlier work Cyborg 009, Ishinomori created Gorenger which was a big hit thus creating a new franchise. So if Kamen Rider never existed that would mean no Super Sentai, and no Super Sentai would mean no Power Rangers or Metal Heroes or even Sailor Moon as the writer for that show was inspired by Sentai to create it. That my friend, would be a very depressing world to live on....
