Technically it was the Okinawans. The name karate did not come about until the turn of the century (late 1800s, early 1900s). Before that it was simply called "te", meaning hand. Some referred to their particular art by locality, such as Naha-te was practiced in the region surrounding Naha, Okinawa, etc. The Chinese did indeed practice a martial art, gung fu (kung fu) among others, but while it had an influence on the Okinawan styles, it is considered by most Martial Arts historians as a separate art.
