A charging roller comprises a shaft member, a base layer located outside in the radial direction of the shaft member, and a surface layer located outside in the radial direction of the base layer and forming a surface. The surface layer includes particles, and the ratio of the total area of the particles exposed from the surface of the surface layer in a planar view seen from the radial direction of the charging roller, with respect to the area of the surface of the surface layer is more than 60%.
