Abstract

A toner used for developing an electrostatic charge image containing a coloring agent, a quaternary ammonium salt compound and polyolefin is disclosed. The quaternary ammonium salt compound is represented by formula (A) and have solubility to water of not more than 2.0%, and number-averaged dispersed diameter of polyolefin is 0.1 .mu.m-1.0 .mu.m. The toner satisfies formula (1); EQU (1) 17<D.sub.T /D.sub.CCA <90 wherein, D.sub.T is a volume-averaged particle size of the toner particle, and D.sub.CCA represents a number-averaged diameter of quaternary ammonium salt compound dispersed in a toner particle. ##STR1## The definition is described in the specification.
