What would we call a person who in ungraceful, clumsy in movement?
Is there a Japanese adjective or noun with the meaning?

1Does this answer your question? What is the meaning of 不器用で (Bukiyōde) when describing a person?– broccoli forestNov 1, 2020 at 15:08

Not really. 不器用な人 is not someone who’d often bump into furniture, for example. I’m looking for a word that would mean that.– EngurooNov 2, 2020 at 11:42

What about へたくそ?– wipNov 2, 2020 at 13:29

I believe the word you are looking for is どじ
Here is the jisho definition but it doesn't do the word justice at all. I think it would be better to look up example sentences to get a feel of how it is used.
Here is one to get you started
ほんとにドジで、しょっちゅうなにかを落としそうになったり、もう少しで大けがをしそうになったりした。
I found this sentence in the NINJAL corpus どじ
