In a sentence

彼(かれ)heは誰(だれ)?who

Who is he?

How it works

は (topic) raises 彼(かれ) (he) as the topic — “as for him…”. Then the question word 誰(だれ) (who) simply takes the slot a name would fill, and nothing more is needed: in casual speech the copula and a question particle are both dropped, so the rising tone alone marks the question.
