1. A heating device comprising:
a rotator;
a heater including:
a base; and
a plurality of heat generators on the base in an arrangement direction and including neighboring heat generators in the arrangement direction, the arrangement direction being a longitudinal direction of the heater,

the heater having a gap area between the neighboring heat generators in the arrangement direction;
a heater holder; and
a second high thermal conductor existing at only a region facing the gap area and at least a part of each of the neighboring heat generators, the second high thermal conductor having a larger thermal conductivity in the arrangement direction than a thermal conductivity in a thickness direction of the second high thermal conductor,
wherein
the second high thermal conductor and the heater are different parts.
