Karate comes from an island called "Okinawa". Karate basically 'evolved' from Southern Chinese Kung Fu styles. It came to mainland Japan in the late nineteenth-century.
Judo, too, was created in Japan in the late nineteenth-century . Judo is an offshoot of Japanese 'Jujutsu'.
(Note: 'Jujutsu' did not evolve from Karate)
