Who started it?
Loaded question, but I’ll refer to the simple answer of who declared it.
It wasn't. Pearl Harbor was the Japanese response to U.S. sanctions designed to provoke such a response for the purpose of garnering support for entering WWII.
Similar tactic was used on 9/11 to garner support for a 20-year war in the Middle East.
Also see, Gulf of Tonkin (Vietnam).

Still doesn't require Japan to attack Pearl Harbor and declare war on the US.
