Fu Manchu moustache
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Fu Manchu moustache takes its name from the fictional character of Fu Manchu, who was often depicted with such a style of moustache on film. A fu manchu extends downward past the mouth and on either side of the chin. Often the ends of the moustache would hang past the jaw line with pointed tips. It is not to be confused with the horseshoe style moustache worn by the likes of wrestler Hulk Hogan.
Fu Manchu moustaches are stereotypically represented as being popular among ancient Chinese wise men, kung-fu teachers and Mongol warriors, and were popular in the United States during the 1970s.
