TOKYO, Feb 4 (Reuters): Japanese shares posted their biggest gains in more than two weeks on Wednesday after Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group's strong results lifted financial shares, and hopes for a new Greek debt swap deal and a stabilisation in oil prices underpinned broader sentiment.
The Nikkei share average ended 2.0 per cent higher to 17,678.74. It was the biggest daily percentage gain since January 20.
The broader Topix rose 1.8 per cent to 1,417.00 and the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 added 1.7 per cent to 12,859.97.
