Tomoaki Ishizuka (born November 4, 1965), best known by his stage name of "Pata" (either chosen by himself or bestowed upon him by other bandmates because of how he reminded them of the main character in Patalliro! ) is a Japanese rock guitarist best known for being the second guitarist of the band X Japan. Before his days with X Japan, he had his own band, "Judy" which he had asked Yoshiki to join, an offer which was turned down. Later, when one of X's guitarists took ill, Yoshiki asked Pata to join X Japan, he accepted, and the band's most recognizable lineup was in place.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Pata began a solo career in 1993, with the Pata's Bootleg concert and self-titled album "Pata." When X Japan lead guitarist hide began his solo career, Pata often played as one of his supporting guitarists as a member of Spread Beaver. He also played support for other bands and artists and toured with hide up until 1996.After hide's death, he organized an alternative-rock band called Dope Headz with X Japan bassist Heath, and he continued to play with Heath in Dope Headz until the dissolution of the band. He also recorded with Miyavi on Miyavi's album Galyuu, as second guitar. He would go on to form his current band, Ra:IN (members Pata [g], Michiaki [b], Tetsu [d], D.I.E. [keyboards, programming, vocals]Pata, along with Dynamite Tommy and Taiji Sawada and others, also appeared in the Japanese rock film "Attitude."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Currently, as of February 2016, he is recovering from alcohol-induced liver and gastrointestinal damage which led to portal thrombosis and damage to his large intestine, which has led to a hiatus for X Japan and doubts about the future...

Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Unusually averted for many years, despite his being The Alcoholic. Aside from the abusive/bad behavior that led to the divorce and one car crash that may not have even been his fault (because no one knows for sure, to this day, whether it was he or hide driving hide's car), especially after The '90s, he is generally known to be a fairly mellow drunk and not known for getting into trouble, destroying stuff, or stupidly dangerous behavior as a result of drinking... until 2016, when severe, life-threatening health problems arose from his use of alcohol, derailing the band's plans for the year.

The Alcoholic: Admitted as such in interviews where he's referred to drinking a to go bowl (e.g. the size of a full ramen cup) of 45 proof whiskey for breakfast as if such an admission were nothing. His wife also divorced him for cause - the cause being alcoholism. His 2016 illness was a direct result of this - liver and gastrointestinal damage as a result of alcoholism. As of March 2016, though, he has been sober for two months.
