TOKYO, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average dipped 0.4 percent on Friday, held back by profit-taking after rallying nearly 10 percent so far this month due to a pick-up in overseas investor demand for Japanese equities.
The benchmark Nikkei fell 40.20 points to 10,039.56 but was still up 9.1 percent in November.
The broader Topix index dipped 0.3 percent to 866.81.
Trading volume was relatively light with about 1.7 billion shares changing hands on the Tokyo exchange's first section. (Reporting by Masayuki Kitano; Editing by Michael Watson)
