There is a story behind all of the data, and the Ikkatsu Project programs are as much about adventure as they are about numbers (although both are primary goals of just about everything we do.) The attached pages detail some amazing tales and the list will undoubtedly continue to grow with the passing of time. The hope is that this whole effort can entertain as well as educate because, when done well, there is no difference between the two. And the best stories are adventure stories.
