Just like any nation's military; the military states their need for such and such piece of equipment, and a designer/company meets that demand.

In this case, the IJN (Imperial Japanese Navy) demanded a long range highly maneuverable fighter plane, which was capable of aircraft carrier operations.

The A6M met that need.
