An extremely old Japanese artistic convention is giving men bushy eyebrows. The manly ''[[CoolOldGuy oyaji]]'' usually has them, and it makes his expressions more imposing and tougher. A lot of older {{shonen}} manga use this style to great effect. Unless it's specifically part of the art style, BigOlEyebrows are a common ArtShift gag when a character is being overdramatic.

Usually related to EvilEyebrows. HotbloodedSideburns is a SisterTrope, and often shows up along side this one. See also BigOlUnibrow. A Subtrope of UnusualEyebrows. Contrast with NoBrows.
