A force for warping a regulating blade is imparted to the regulating blade in such a manner that a gap between a developer bearing member supported by a development frame member and the regulating blade attached to an attaching portion of the development frame member falls within a predetermined range over a longitudinal direction of the developer bearing member. The regulating blade is fixed to the attaching portion in a state in which the regulating blade is warped by the force imparted to the regulating blade and the gap is within the predetermined range over the longitudinal direction of the developer bearing member.
