I was wondering how I could one translate "the bearded man", in the same
fashion as the Straw Hat Luffy (in one Piece) "Mugiwara" ? I understood
mugiwara means "Straw" but people seem okay calling him by just this word, and
not "the straw hat man". Thank you very much!

question
translation
How would one would translate "Bearded man"?
As simple as ひげ／ヒゲ can work as a nickname, although I believe most real people
with beard do not like to be called in this way. In fiction, especially in old
fictional works, many people have simple nicknames like ヒゲ, メガネ, アゴ, etc.

黒ひげ is a Japanese name of [_Blackbeard_
(pirate)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbeard), and
[赤ひげ](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/16302/5010) is a symbol of humane
doctors in Japan.
