For whatever reason, they got Shirow Miwa to draw the manga.

RWBY is already coming out in Japan anyway. In fact, the Volume 1 Japanese dub has already shown in theaters over there.

The reason there even is a Japanese dub is because RWBY has a significant amount of Japanese fans who've been relying on bilingual fans to put Japanese subtitles on the episodes, in order to watch it. So, Rooster Teeth decided to include those fans in their market.
