What's this gesture called? Does it have a name?
As far as I know, there is no single Japanese word for the gesture (I'm a
native Japanese speaker).

If I talk about the gesture, I would use several words to describe it, such as
「鼻{はな}の下{した}を指{ゆび}でこする仕草{しぐさ}」 or more simply 「鼻をこする仕草」.

I have seen it on anime or manga, but have never seen anyone do it in real
life. So it's a very アニメっぽい/マンガっぽい(anime-like/manga-like) gesture, I think.
When a character makes the gesture, he/she often say 「ヘヘッ」 in Japanese.
