Abstract

An electrophotographic photoreceptor includes a cylindrical body and a film forming layer formed on an outer surface of the cylindrical body, having a photosensitive layer. The electrophotographic photoreceptor is divided into a first region where an electrostatic latent image is formed and second regions provided at both end portions in an axial direction of the cylindrical body. The second regions include inclined annular surfaces whose outer diameters decrease toward end portions in the axial direction.
