TOKYO (Reuters) - BlackRock Inc <BLK.N> has built a 5.12% stake in Toshiba Machine <6104.T>, a former Toshiba Corp <6502.T> subsidiary that has been targeted by Japan's most prominent activist investor, according to a regulatory filing by the U.S. asset manager.

The revelation by BlackRock on Wednesday came a day after veteran activist investor Yoshiaki Murakami launched an up to $235 million hostile bid for control of the molding company.
