ISHIKAWA Naoki walked from the North to the South Poles and scaled the highest mountain peaks of the seven continents at the age of 23, making him the world’s youngest person to do so at the of the feat. However, Ishikawa avowed from the beginning “I’m not an adventurer.” What he seeks for is neither to conquer pathless lands nor glory and the thrill he gains from it.
