It was discovered on 16 February 1986, by Japanese astronomer Minoru Kizawa at the Nihondaira Observatory in Shimizu, Japan.The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.2–4.5 AU once every 4 years and 9 months (1,732 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.58 and an inclination of 4 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic. As an Amor asteroid, it approaches the orbit of Earth from the outside but does not cross it. It crosses however the orbit of Mars and can be classified as a Mars-crosser. It was most probably formed from a larger body through a catastrophic collision with another object. Radar measurements of this body indicate that the surface is relatively smooth on scales of less than a meter, but it is highly irregular on scales of 10–100 meters.
