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 times the ends of the moustache would hang past the jaw line with pointed tips.
Fu Manchu moustaches are thought to be popular among ancient Chinese wise men, kung-fu teachers and Mongol warriors, and were popular in the United States during the 1970's.
