(Corrects Topix volume in the fourth paragraph to 1.82 billion shares from 1.54 billion) TOKYO, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average fell on Tuesday in thin trade as profit-taking accelerated in late trade after the weak yen trend paused, taking a toll on exporters and index-heavyweight stocks such as Honda Motor Co and SoftBank Corp.

The Nikkei shed 0.6 percent to 15,521.22.

The dollar dipped 0.1 percent to 103.92 yen, having peaked at a seven-month high of 104.49 overnight.

The broader Topix dropped 0.5 percent to 1,285.01, with only 1.82 billion shares changing hands.

The JPX-Nikkei Index 400 weakened 0.5 percent to 11,687.62.
