[1] The assumed C-type asteroid has a rotation period of 5.8 hours and measures approximately 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) in diameter.

[8]: 23  It orbits the Sun in the outer asteroid belt at a distance of 2.6–3.4 AU once every 5 years and 2 months (1,886 days).

[1] This minor planet was named in honour of Japanese botanist Akira Misawa (1942–1994), a professor at Chiba University, who examined the effects of light pollution on plants.

[9] A rotational lightcurve of Akiramisawa was obtained from photometric observations made at the Palomar Transient Factory in June 2010.

Lightcurve analysis gave a rotation period of 5.8153±0.0015 hours with a high brightness amplitude of 0.90 magnitude (U=2).
