"Jiu Jitsu" ( or "Ju Jitsu/ Jutsu" depending on the spelling) is not a single style per se so the short answer is no-one did! As often as not there were family based systems and so there was no one "school" of Jiu Jitsu - it was almost a generic term for the unarmed combat techniques employed by the Samurai
With that said there are a number of schools (or Ryu) that have definite founders, although these tend to be more in the modern era. Notable ones include
Jigoro Kano - Judo
Morihei Ueshiba - Aikido/Aikijitsu
Carlos Gracie/Helio Gracie - Gracie Jiu Jitsu
Other schools abound although be wary that many modern schools cannot always providence their lineage to a formal ryu.
