I think it was in the air already, even before Gibson. Bladerunner came out in 1982, two years before Neuromancer. Gibson was writing Neuromancer at the time and was stunned the movie had such a similar vibe to the book he hadn’t finished yet.
Bladerunner is definitely expressing an anti-Japanese sentiment by conflating general social decay with an increase in Asian people and culture in Los Angeles.
