Have you all never read Anime Talk? KnY's manga was discovered by Aniplex CEO Atsuhiro Iwakami. He believed the manga had great potential, purchased the anime adaptation rights from Shueisha, and then handed the manga over to Ufotable for adaptation.

Ufotable simply passively accepted Aniplex's commission. Ufotable was just lucky; Aniplex deserves the greatest credit.
