Abstract
A sliding component includes a pair of sliding members being slidable relative to each other on sliding surfaces of the sliding members. In the sliding component, one of the sliding surfaces includes a dimple group in which a plurality of dimples is arranged. Each of the dimple has an opening portion whose shape has a long axis and a short axis orthogonal to the long axis. In the dimple group, the dimples are arranged along a curve having a curvature different from a curvature of a circumference of the one of the sliding surfaces.
