Abstract
A developer stirring member includes a shaft member and a flexible member. The shaft member is elongated along a first direction inside a container. The film-like flexible member is supported by the shaft member and stirs the developer. The flexible member includes a base portion, a plurality of short piece portions, and a long portion. The base portion, elongated in the first direction, is fixed to the shaft member. The short piece portions, each extending from the base portion in a second direction that intersects the first direction, are juxtaposed in the first direction with spaces therebetween. The long portion is elongated in the second direction, longer in the second direction than the short piece portions, and extends from spaces in the base portion that are in between where the short piece portions are connected thereto.
