Abstract

A surface-treated inorganic fine particle includes an inorganic fine particle, a hydrophobizing agent deposited on the surface of the inorganic fine particle and an amino group-containing coupling agent deposited on the surface of the inorganic fine particle, wherein the hydrophobizing agent and the amino group-containing coupling agent in a ratio of 1/(0.01 to 0.1) by weight are deposited on the surface of the inorganic fine particle by treating the surface of the inorganic fine particle with the hydrophobizing agent and the amino group-containing coupling agent. An electrophotographic developer contains toner particles and the surface-treated inorganic fine particles.
