Abstract
The toner of the present invention is an electrostatic latent image developing toner, and has a toner base particle. The toner base particle contains a binder resin including a crystalline resin, and a release agent. The toner has the maximum value G'at a temperature equal to or lower than Tm, among specific storage elastic modulus ratios, of 2.2 or more. The Tm represents a peak top temperature (° C.) of a specific endothermic peak in DSC of the toner.
