Asteroid 5072, Hioki, was discovered October 9, 1931 by Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemburg, Germany. It has a period of 4 years, 352 days.
It was named after Japanese astronomer Tsutomu Hioki, who helped relocate the lost asteroid Hapag (#724).
The meaning of asteroid Hioki seems to be regressing, deterioration, backsliding, a comedown, possibly "hokey" or relocating lost things.
