Claim:
1. A multilayer ceramic capacitor, comprising: a ceramic element body including a plurality of layered dielectric layers and having opposite end surfaces opposing each other and a plurality of side surfaces connecting said opposite end surfaces; a plurality of internal electrodes containing a base metal as a main component, the plurality of internal electrodes being arranged between said layered dielectric layers, and being alternately drawn out to said opposite end surfaces; a pair of external electrodes each having an external electrode main body formed respectively on said opposite end surfaces of said ceramic element body and conductively connected to said internal electrodes drawn out to said opposite end surfaces of said ceramic element body; at least one plating layer on an outer side of said external electrode main body; and between an outermost plating layer among said at least one plating layer and said dielectric layers, at least one kind of element selected from a first element that forms a covalent hydride with hydrogen having a boiling point of 125° C. or more and a second element that forms a hydride in a boundary region with hydrogen.
