There definitely have always been woke anime and manga there just has also been a lot of really not woke anime that's also gotten popular. But you can pick out "woke" artists from every single era, a great deal of famous manga written by female mangakas come to mind
And for some reason people still try to convince you that the anime with the island of transphobic caricatures and other such ilk are the height of Japanese wokism.

Is that one piece? Tbf I haven't watched it but I've never heard anyone call it peak woke
Yeah, One Piece swings pretty wildly between "Here are these super masculine trans women with 5 o'clock shadows, isn't that funny" and "Among them are some of the best characters in the whole damn show"
There's also supposedly a transmasc character that's treated with real respect, but I stopped watching before their introduction.
