Abstract: Recent LHC experiments have revealed that Higgs is light. As an interesting candidate to accommodate light Higgs, in this paper we adopt the scenario of dimensional deconstruction, where Higgs is redarded as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. Though the scenario is formulated in ordinary 4-dimensional space-time, it may also be interpreted as "latticized" gauge-Higgs unification. We point out that in this scenario Higgs interaction with matter field is anomalous, i.e. its coupling deviates from what the standard model predicts. The interplay between the periodicity of physical observables in the Higgs field and the violation of translational invariance along the extra-space due to the latticization is argued to play an essential role to get the anomalous interaction. Though the predicted anomalous Higgs interaction has much similarity to the one in the gauge-Higgs unification, in the case of dimensional deconstruction the anomaly exists even if we do not introduce bulk mass term for the chiral fermion realized by orbifolding, in clear contrast to the case of gauge-Higgs unification. It in turn means that the anomaly goes away in the continuum limit of the extra-space.
