Claim:
A toner, comprising: a binder resin; a wax; and a colorant, wherein particles of the wax having a particle diameter of less than 1.00 μm are included in the toner in an amount of not less than 35% by number and less than 55% by number, and wherein the wax has a particle diameter distribution property such that when particle diameters of particles of the wax are classified into ranges having a width of 0.05 μm, the wax has a particle diameter mode value that is not less than 0.75 μm and less than 1.00 μm; and wherein particles of the wax having a particle diameter of not less than 1.00 μm and less than 2.00 μm are included in the toner in an amount of not less than 42.5% by number and less than 55% by number.
