Kansai Electric Power and Shinsei Bank added 1.99% and 2.70%. Dragging Japan's stock average lower, consumer services and telecommunications plunged 2.52% and 2.46%. Secom sank 0.59% while Softbank dipped 3.76%. Among other losers, Nissan Motors dropped the most in 21 months after Nomura Holdings downgraded the firm's stock rating to neutral from buy. Nissan Motor sagged 7.35%. Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Motors dropped 5.49% after announcing the forth recall since November 2010 due to engine oil leaks.
