Born in the Daikancho quarter of Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture, Ishizaka entered Keio University in 1919.[1] Upon graduating from the Faculty of Letters, he took a position at Hirosaki Girls' High School.[1] Later, he became a teacher at Akita Prefectural Yokote Girls' High School and Akita Prefectural Yokote Junior High School.[1]
In 1939, he moved to Tokyo to concentrate on his literary work.[1] During World War II, he served as a war correspondent in the Philippines.[2]
His 1947 novel Blue Mountain Range (青い山脈, Aoi sanmyaku) portrayed the emancipated post-war youth through the relationships of a group of high school students.[3]
While widely popular in Japan, with his writings repeatedly made into films,[1] only a small portion of his writings have been translated and published in English.
