Fu Manchu

Long drooping mustache

Fu Manchu is a style of mustache with long, thin tendrils that droop past the corners of the mouth, sometimes reaching the chin or below.

Named after the fictional Chinese villain created by Sax Rohmer in the early 20th century, whose sinister appearance included this distinctive facial hair: He grew a Fu Manchu to complete his biker look.
