The invention provides a thermoplastic resin composition, which does not substantially compromise color rendering and flame retardance of a thermoplastic resin and has high impact resistance, slidability, and chemical resistance in a wide scope of environmental conditions ranging from low temperature to high temperature. A graft copolymer (G) containing rubber is a graft copolymer containing rubber formed by performing graft polymerization of 1 or more vinyl monomers on a composite rubber containing a polyorganosiloxane (B1) and a polyalkyl (meth)acrylate (B2). The content of a component derived from a silane compound containing a vinyl-based polymerizable group in the polyorganosiloxane (B1) is 1 mass % to 10 mass %. The volume-average particle size of the graft copolymer containing rubber is 300 nm to 2000 nm. The content of the polyorganosiloxane (B1) in the graft copolymer containing rubber is 70 mass % to 98 mass %. An acetone soluble matter is 5.0 mass % or more and 30.0 mass % or less.

Disclosed are a method of producing a graft copolymer, comprising polymerizing a vinyl monomer (B) containing a polyfunctional vinyl monomer (b1) in the presence of a polyorganosiloxane rubber (A) comprising more than 20% by mass of a toluene-insoluble matter, wherein a mass percentage of the polyfunctional vinyl monomer (b1) is 11 to 19% by mass based on 100% by mass of a total amount of the polyorganosiloxane rubber (A) and the vinyl monomer (B); a graft copolymer obtained by the method; a resin composition being prepared by blending the graft copolymer with a resin and having high impact resistance and heat resistance and sufficient flame retardancy; and a molded article obtained by molding the resin composition.
