noun
good-looking man; handsome man
A somewhat literary or refined term for a handsome man, less common in casual speech than イケメン or 美男子.
彼はまさに美丈夫と呼ぶにふさわしい男性だ。
He is truly a man worthy of being called a handsome fellow.
イケメン is a casual, modern slang term for a good-looking guy, widely used in everyday conversation.
Compound of 美 (bi, 'beautiful') + 丈夫 (jōfu, 'manly man, hero'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but it has been used in classical and literary contexts to describe a handsome man.
