Fu Manchu, with eponymous moustache, actor Nicolas Cage.
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. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

FuManchu was by no means the first grotesque caricature of the "Yellow Peril" to emerge in popular fiction, but he was the most successful; by the mid-1920's, after the first three FuManchu novels had been published, he had become the template on which other Asian or pseudo-Asian villains were modeled.
Rohmer described FuManchu as "the yellow peril incarnate in one man", and in a backwards sense he was right — for the character came to personify the xenophobic attitudes of the era.
The "FuManchumoustache", which Rohmer's Fu does not wear, was added in the popular imagination, simply because it fit with the cartoon image of the "Mandarin" in the way that the pigtail had come to symbolize the coolie.
