In Japanese culture it is customary to show respect by bowing; instead of hand shakes, the Japanese generally bow. This permeated all of their activites so was a part of karate even before it was an established activity.
It is the first rule of the Niju Kun, the 20 precepts of Shotokan, however that first rule applies to all styles;
"Karate begins with respect, and ends with respect."

How long did it take for karate to be created?
No one knows the exact period of Karate's development. Yet, it is a continuous process. There are many branches of Karate and some more sub-branches. New styles of Karate are being developed each year. I think, originally karate came from Chinese Martial Arts (maybe Kung-fu and Kung-fu ages back to Ancient History- Rise of Buddhism). So, I think Karate's development is a topic of Research and just out of the scope of this answer.
