Aims:We explore the formation and evolution of the highly inclined orbit of Neptune Trojan 2005 TN{53}. Methods: With numerical simulations, we investigated a possible mechanism for the origin of the high-inclination Neptune Trojans as captured into the Trojan-type orbits by an initially eccentric Neptune during its eccentricity damping and rapid inward migration, then migrating to the present locations locked in Neptune's 1:1 mean motion resonance. Results: Two 2005 TN{53}-type Trojans out of our 2000 test particles were produced with inclinations above 20°, moving on tadpole orbits librating around Neptune's leading Lagrange point.
