Pigment dispersion, method for manufacturing toner, aqueous ink, and triazo compound

A method for manufacturing a toner comprising:

• a step of dispersing an organic pigment and a compound having a structure represented by Formula (1) in a polymerizable monomer to prepare a polymerizable monomer composition;
• a granulation step of adding the polymerizable monomer composition to an aqueous medium to form particles of the polymerizable monomer composition in the aqueous medium;
• and
• a polymerization step of polymerizing the polymerizable monomer contained in the particles of the polymerizable monomer composition, wherein
• an amount of the compound is 1 to 100 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the organic pigment,
• wherein, in Formula (1), R1 to R10 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an unsubstituted alkyl group, an alkyl group substituted with a carboxy group, an alkyl group substituted with a sulfonic acid group or a sulfonic acid alkali metal salt, an alkyl group substituted with a phosphate group or a phosphoric acid alkali metal salt, an alkyl group substituted with a nitro group, an alkyl group substituted with an aryl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an alkenyloxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, an unsubstituted aryl group, an aryl group substituted with a carboxy group, an aryl group substituted with a nitro group, an aryl group substituted with a halogen group, an amide group, an acylamino group, a nitro group, a cyano group, an alkoxy group, a halogen group, an amino group, an alkylthio group, an acyl group, a carboxy group, a hydroxyl group, a sulfonic acid group or a sulfonic acid alkali metal salt, or a phosphate group or a phosphoric acid alkali metal salt, or R1 to R5 or R6 to R10 are optionally bonded to each other to form a ring, R1 to R10 subjected to the formation of the ring optionally represent an atomic group required for the formation of the ring, and the formed ring optionally has a substituent.
