Abstract
A toner includes toner particles. The toner particles each include a toner core and a shell layer covering a surface of the toner core. The toner core contains composite particles. The composite particles are particles of a composite of a releasing agent, an electrically conductive polymer, and a dopant. A ratio of an amount of the composite particles to a mass of the toner cores is at least 0.5% by mass and no greater than 15.0% by mass.
