Tomoaki Ishizuka (?? ??, Ishizuka Tomoaki, born November 4, 1965 in Chiba), known exclusively by his stage name Pata, is a Japanese musician.
He is best known as the rhythm guitarist for the heavy metal band X Japan.
He joined the band in 1987, stayed with them until their dissolution in 1997 and rejoined when the band started a comeback in 2007. A year after their breakup, he formed the short-lived duo P.A.F.
with singer NoB and created the band Dope HEADz with X Japan bassist Heath and former Spread Beaver percussionist/programmer I.N.A.
in 2000.
Right after they ceased activity, Pata formed the instrumental band Ra:IN in 2002, which still tours extensively to this day. His stage name is taken from the manga Patalliro!, as he was said to resemble the title character.
