TOKYO (Dec 30): Japan's Nikkei stock average rose to a fresh six-year high to close out 2013 with a 57 percent annual gain, its biggest in more than 40 years on the back of aggressive economic stimulus by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Softbank Corp came in second with a 193 percent gain, while Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd , which makes Subaru vehicles, was third.
Nikon Corp was the worst performer this year, down 20.5 percent, followed by Toho Zinc Co Ltd and Pacific Metals Co Ltd.
The broader Topix was up 1 percent at 1,302.29, rising above 1,300 for the first time since August 2008.
