In The Who's Tommy, what is the full name of the fictional main character?

In The Who's Tommy, the fictional main character's full name is Tommy Walker.

Tommy is the central figure in The Who's 1969 double album Tommy, an early rock opera written primarily by guitarist Pete Townshend. The story follows Tommy from childhood through trauma, isolation, miraculous recovery, and an eventual rise as a spiritual and messianic figure.

Tommy's father, Captain Walker, returns home and kills his wife's lover in front of the boy. Tommy's parents then pressure him to deny what he saw and heard, leading to his symbolic deafness, dumbness, and blindness. The character's surname is easy to overlook because most songs refer to him simply as Tommy.

The album was influenced partly by Townshend's interest in Indian spiritual teacher Meher Baba. It was released on May 19, 1969, and helped establish the Who as innovators in the rock-opera format. The later film and stage adaptations also use Tommy Walker as the character's name.
