Tatsuya Ishida is the author of the webcomic Sinfest. He was also a penciller for Dark Horse Comics, where he worked on comic books of the licensed properties G.I. Joe and Godzilla.

Other than what can be learned through his work, very little is known about him. He remains an enigmatic personality who makes no regular commentary other than the "Notes from the Resistance" feature on the front page of the Sinfest website, which can sometimes cryptically refer to real-life events. Appearances by him on the internet are otherwise very rare, and brief.

However, Tatsuya responded to the 2008 U.S. presidential election in uncharacteristic fashion, running strips that were clearly parodies of the Republican candidates John McCain^[1], and Sarah Palin^[2], . Barack Obama was also depicted^[3], but as a superhero, wearing Superman's costume and leading the Justice League of America^[4].

In the 1990s he co-created and penciled a comic called StrangeLove for Entity Comics with partner Stacy Freeman.
