TOKYO, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei stock average rose 0.8 percent on Monday, with exporters such as Canon Inc gaining after Wall Street jumped sharply on a rebound in U.S. business spending.
But shares in consumer lenders plunged after media said struggling consumer lender Takefuji Corp is making final preparations to file for bankruptcy protection from creditors, crippled by the reimbursement of overcharged interest.
Acom Corp fell 10 percent while Aiful dropped 16 percent.
The benchmark Nikkei rose 74.98 points to 9,544.97, while the broader Topix gained 0.5 percent to 842.36.
