TOKYO, July 28 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average edged lower to break a nine-day rising streak, as stocks that had led the strong run-up such as Advantest Corp fell amid concern about the rapid pace of the rally.
The benchmark Nikkei edged down 1.40 points to 10,087.26. It had climbed nine straight days by Monday, its longest run of gains since 1988.
The broader Topix rose 0.2 percent to 930.13. (Reporting by Rika Otsuka)
