Since anime was inspired by Disney and other western animation wouldn’t they be called “sushi cartoons” in this naming scheme? The superhero genre is older than the whole anime industry after all.

Not sure where you got this from... Most Animes are based on Mangas (comic books). And they existed long before Disney.

Choju-giga What many believed were the very first manga in Japan appeared in the 12th and 13th century, in a series of drawings like frogs and rabbits titled Choju-giga (Scrolls of Frolicking Animals) produced by several artists.

Disney was founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as Disney Brothers Studio

The concept of animating comics could still be inspired by Disney. Even if they use japanese comics instead if american comics.
