To my eyes, this looks like a stretch. Two aspects being comparable to Junji Ito's works doesn't really signify anything. As far as I know, Araki has never stated influence from Ito, and unless there were a multitude of connections then I don't really think it could mean anything. Besides, being able to control hair is such a small aspect in the big picture that being comparable is likely a coincedence at best. Maybe the Wall Eyes though, that one does seem fairer.
