Photoconductor, image forming apparatus, process cartridge, and method of manufacturing photoconductor

A method of manufacturing a photoconductor, comprising:

• processing an inner circumferential surface of an end part of a cylindrical conductive support to have a surface roughness Rz of from 3 to 10 μm, the end part having an outer circumferential surface;
• forming a water-repellent resin film on the inner circumferential surface of the end part of the cylindrical conductive support;
• forming a coating film on an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical conductive support;
• and
• securing an outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical fitting part of a flange to the inner circumferential surface of the end part of the cylindrical conductive support,
• wherein the water-repellent resin film is disposed only on the inner circumferential surface of the end part of the cylindrical conductive support.
