Abstract

An electrostatic charge image developing toner includes toner particles, polishing agent particles which have a number particle size distribution having two peaks, and fatty acid metal salt particles which have a number particle size distribution having one peak, wherein the toner satisfies relationships expressed by expressions: (1) Da≦0.5×Dt, (2) Dc≦0.5×Dt and (3) Dt≦Db, wherein Da represents a particle diameter of a small-diameter-side peak in the two peaks of the number particle size distribution of the polishing agent particles, Db represents a particle diameter of a large-diameter-side peak in the two peaks of the number particle size distribution of the polishing agent particles, Dc represents a particle diameter of a peak of the number particle size distribution of the fatty acid metal salt particles, and Dt represents a volume average particle diameter of the toner particles.
