Abstract
An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes toner particles. Each toner particle includes a toner core containing a binder resin, a shell layer coating a surface of the toner core, and particulates having a higher hardness than the shell layer. Each shell layer contains a thermosetting resin, and the particulates are present within the shell layer. Preferably, the content of the particulates having a higher hardness than the shell layer is 0.1% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less with respect to a total amount of the toner particles.
