Abstract

An electrostatic image developing toner includes toner particles including a binder resin and a release agent, an external additive A, and an external additive B. At least the external additive A is present on the surface of the toner particles. At least the external additive B is present on the external additive A. The external additive B is an aggregate of two or more particles. The toner particles have an average circularity of 0.8 or more and 0.94 or less. The amount of the release agent present at the surface of the toner particles is 5 area % or more and 30 area % or less based on the total surface area of the toner particles.
