Tokyo stocks fell 0.44 percent in the morning session of Friday after softer-than-expected June U.S. jobs data saw the yen climb against the U.S. dollar overnight and as Greece's bailout referendum looms over the weekend.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average was down 91.25 points from Thursday to end the morning at 20,431.25. The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange lost 2.11 points, or 0.13 percent, to 1,646.13.
