Japan's Nikkei average climbed 1.5 percent to close above 10,000 for the first time in seven months on Wednesday, boosted by Wall Street gains after the Fed upgraded its U.S. economic outlook, while Tokyo shares received a further lift from a weaker yen.
Exporters and financials outperformed, with Sony Corp jumping 5.2 percent, Nissan Motor Co Ltd up 3.8 percent and Japan's leading investment bank Nomura Holdings Inc adding 3.4 percent.
