A roller support device includes a roller including a cylindrical portion having a through hole, a support member attached to a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the roller adjacent to the through hole to support the roller so that the roller is rotatable, and a restricting member including a bent hook and a contact portion. The restricting member restrains the support member from moving in a first direction of a rotation axis of the roller by contacting the support member at the contact portion. The bent hook is bent so as to extend to an inside of the cylindrical portion through the through hole and oppose a portion of the inner peripheral surface surrounding the through hole. The contact portion is disposed so as to extend in a circumferential direction of an outer peripheral surface of the roller and being capable of contacting the support member.
