The yen was trading around six-year lows against the dollar after reaching 107.11 yen in New York on Thursday - the first time the US currency had risen past 107.00 yen since September 2008, during the global financial crisis.
Tokyo was up 0.39 per cent after reversing earlier losses and Seoul rose 2.0 per cent, but Hong Kong shares were flat, Shanghai slipped 0.19 per cent and Sydney was 0.4 per cent weaker.
China will on Saturday announce figures including retail sales and fixed asset investment for August. Data released Thursday showed inflation easing to a four-month low, fuelling the case for a further easing in monetary policy.
