Abstract
An electrostatic-image developing toner includes toner particles, aggregated silica particles A treated with an oil, and aggregated or non-aggregated silica particles B rendered hydrophobic with a hydrophobizing agent other than an oil. The average particle size Da of the aggregated silica particles A and the average particle size Db of the silica particles B satisfy Da≥Db. The electrostatic-image developing toner does not include any external additive other than the aggregated silica particles A or the silica particles B, or the electrostatic-image developing toner includes an external additive other than the aggregated silica particles A or the silica particles B, the other external additive having an average particle size smaller than the average particle size Da.
