(Updates with opening)
TOKYO, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei slid 1.3 percent on Friday to a three-week low, as a stronger yen and an overnight plunge in U.S. stocks prompted investors to dump exporters such as Sony Corp (6758.T).
As of 0001 GMT, the benchmark Nikkei .N225 had fallen 102.69 points to 7,600.35, its lowest since late October, after dropping nearly 7 percent the previous day.
The broader TOPIX index slipped 1.3 percent to 771.91. (Reporting by Rika Otsuka)
