A recording-medium binding device includes a first tooth row including plural teeth and a second tooth row including plural teeth. The first and second tooth rows include a central region and end regions. The plural teeth of each of the first and second tooth rows include at least one tooth disposed in the central region and at least one tooth dispose in each of the end regions. In a process of pinching the recording medium batch, the at least one tooth of the first tooth row in the end region and the at least one tooth of the second tooth row in the end region pinch the recording medium batch earlier than the at least one tooth of the first tooth row in the central region and the at least one tooth of the second tooth row in the central region.
