It is almost definitely a pun. It is also odd that they used hiragana rather than katakana. Strange.
I suspect that the Japanese furry fandom is very different than the American one because the Japanese culture has always had a very pervasive anthropomorphism tendency, probably due to the animism that's inherent in Shinto. There probably isn't much need for a fandom there because it's so commonplace and every-day anyway.
