I doubt this is a pen name, if it is, well, that is your artist.
The last seal and sig reads 佑岩, and in Chinese 佑 means blessed, which would give "blessed rock". I think that is 雅号 (pen name), and his real name is Ishikawa.
Reason is simple: 朱印 (seal in intaglio) is usually used for surname (姓名印), while the 白印 (seal in relief) is used for 雅号印 (pen name seal). Together they represent balance of forces Yin and Yang.
The top seal on the last picture is too blury, you need to make a better picture.

Wow thanks for the info. I have looked all over the web trying to find who exactly painted this but there are many artists with that surname. Like Koji Ishikawa, Kinichiro Ishikawa, Tadashi Ishikawa, Toraji, etc. I was wondering if anyone can get more specific.
By the way thanks to any who are trying to help, I appreciate it immensely.
