TOKYO, April 8 (Reuters) - Japanese shares fell 1.4 percent to a two-week low on Tuesday as Takeda Pharmaceutical Co tumbled after a U.S. jury ordered it to pay $6 billion over claims it concealed risks associated with its Actos diabetes drug.
Gains in the yen also hurt sentiment, while tech stocks extended declines into a second day.
During the session, the Bank of Japan stood pat on policy as expected after a two-day policy meeting.
The Nikkei share average lost 201.97 points to end at 14,606.88, its weakest close since March 26.
Takeda tumbled 5.2 percent to 4,572 yen, its weakest close in two months, and was the second most-traded stock after a U.S. jury ordered it pay $6 billion in damages over claims concealed cancer risks associated with its Actos drug.
It fell as much as 8.8 percent to its weakest since August 2013 during trade, and its losses weighed on other drugmakers.
