Tokyo shares closed higher on Monday as better-than-expected US jobs data boosted sentiment and weakened the yen, giving a boost to exporters including Toyota and rival automaker Nissan.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average rallied 2.44%, or 396.12 points, to finish at 16,650.57.
The broader Topix index of all first-section shares advanced 2.00%, or 25.63 points, to 1,305.53.
Gainers were led by insurance, banking and marine transportation issues.
