He lived in Ibaraki Prefecture. Ishizaki became the world's oldest recognized man following the death of American Walter Richardson on December 25, 1998, who was 113. He became Japan's oldest person following the death of Yasu Akino on February 12, 1999, who was also 113. Ishizaki died at the age of 112 years 191 days.
