Tokyo stocks have gained 1.30 per cent as strong US jobs data boosted investor sentiment, with dealers also looking to Japanese corporate earnings.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index on Monday rose 183.04 points to 14,269.84, while the Topix index of all first-section shares edged up 0.78 per cent, or 9.23 points, to 1,185.65.

Tokyo's rise came after a Friday rally on Wall Street where the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended at a fresh record of 15,761.78, up 1.08 per cent, fuelled by the stronger-than-expected jobs data.
