No one is really sure. Many claim that Carlos Gracie was the creator while others claim it was Carlos' younger brother Helio who created Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. There will always be controversy over who is the true founder is.
First its Jujutsu not jujitsu or juijitsu, those are old and incorrect pronouciations for jujutsu. The oldest surviving school of Jujutsu is Takenoichi ryu Jujutsu founded in 1532. Brazilian Juijitsu was founded by the Gracie's and it comes from Judo. Judo was founded in 1882 by Jigoro Kano. So Japanese Jujutsu was first.
Nobody knows exactly, but Japanese Jiu Jitsu was invented in Japan. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was invented in Brazil.
The jiu jitsu was initially created by Brazilian brothers Carlos, Gastao Jr., George, Oswaldo and Helio Gracie.
Roger Gracie has been the most dominant BJJ competitor in recent years. Prior to Roger it was Marcelo Garcia or Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza. Honorable mention should go to Andre Galvao.
Japan. Anything with jitsu in it is from Japan. A joke my instructor says is in Japan jitsu means to hurt.
Japanese Jiujitsu is Aikido's Ancestor. Other styles of Jiujitsu are different, however the Japanese style which is the original style is a root of Aikido. Aikido was created so that you would not destroy your attacker, however jiujitsu is used in combat. The Samurai used techniques that look like Aikido, however it is just a form of Jiujitsu. What Morihei Ueshiba (the founder of Aikido) did was take techniques that he learned from Daito Ryu Jiujitsu and shortened them creating "Aikido". Aikido often talks about protecting your attacker. Ultimately you have the option to protect or destroy once you know techniques, it is up to the Aikidoka.
St-Pierre earned a black belt in BJJ under Bruno Fernandes.
The roots of the Samurai arts go back thousands of years. Today we only have a form of what they used. They learned a form of Japanese JiuJitsu and Kenjutsu for their sword work. Those are the two main arts. The Art had been originally developed and handed down over the generations. Most arts have been lost or forgotten, however Kenjutsu and Japanese JiuJitsu are still alive today which contain roots back to the Samurai.
