TOKYO, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed mixed on Friday, with the market seeing buying in some issues on a weaker yen, while high-tech shares were sold to lock in gains after recent advances.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended down 52.75 points, or 0.1 percent, from Thursday at 53,322.85. The broader Topix index finished 21.02 points, or 0.59 percent, higher at 3,566.32.

On the top-tier Prime Market, the main gainers were air transportation, oil and coal products, and real estate issues, while nonferrous metal and construction issues were notable decliners.

The Nikkei stock index was weighed down in particular by selling of heavyweight Advantest after the semiconductor testing equipment maker surged the previous day following an upward revision to its earnings outlook. Some other technology issues also declined.

Meanwhile, the market received support from some dip-buying and gains in export-related auto shares on the dollar's rise against the yen.
