Abstract

A toner having a toner particle that is produced through a step of melt-kneading a resin composition containing a binder resin, a colorant, a hydrocarbon wax, and a wax dispersing agent, cooling the obtained kneaded material, pulverizing the obtained cooled material, and heat treating the resulting resin particles, wherein the wax dispersing agent is a polymer provided by graft polymerizing a styrene-acrylic polymer onto a polypropylene, the styrene-acrylic polymer is a polymer having a monomer unit derived from a cycloalkyl (meth)acrylate, and specific relationships are satisfied where Mp(p) is the melting point (° C.) of the polypropylene and Mp(w) is the melting point (° C.) of the hydrocarbon wax.
