Well, Oyodo had a similar hull design to Agano-class but she was noticably larger and had a very different layout. The all-forward armament and aircraft facilities in the rear was similar to Tone-class, though with only two triple turrets it was a more conventional arrangement than Tone (which had 4 turrets all up front).

Basically, Oyodo was an original design. Sure she borrowed elements from earlier designs but what ship doesn't?
