TOKYO, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Private equity firm KKR

has raised its tender offer price for the acquisition of

Japanese software developer Fuji Soft to 9,451 yen

($60.86) a share from 8,800 yen previously, the Japanese company

said on Friday.

Fuji Soft said its board decided at a meeting on Friday to

support KKR's tender offer and oppose rival U.S. Bain Capital's

proposal.

KKR's proposal exceeds the 9,450 yen offered by Bain

Capital.
