Prosecutors in Japan have accused Trevor Hill, a rare foreigner to make it to the top ranks of a Japanese brokerage in Tokyo, of a market-manipulation scheme. Hill says he is baffled, angry and ready to fight.

The 51-year-old American, a rare foreigner to make it to the top ranks of a Japanese brokerage in Tokyo, knew authorities were looking into some trades in his unit.
