White toner and method for producing same

A white toner comprising

• a toner particle that includes a binder resin, an inorganic white pigment and a polyvalent metal salt compound, wherein
• the inorganic white pigment has an acidic group at a surface thereof, and a volume amount of the inorganic white pigment in the toner particle is 10% by volume to 50% by volume;
• the polyvalent metal salt compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by following formulae (1) and (2):
• in the formula (1), R1 is each independently an organic group having from 6 to 40 carbon atoms, M1 is a divalent metal, X1 is a hydroxyl group or a halogen group, p1 represents an integer of 1 to 2, and q1 represents an integer of 0 to 1,
• in the formula (2), R2 is each independently an organic group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms, M2 is a trivalent metal, X2 is each independently a hydroxyl group or a halogen group, p2 represents an integer of 1 to 3, and q2 represents an integer of 0 to 2,
• an absolute value of the difference between an SP value (J/cm3)1/2 of the binder resin and the SP value (J/cm3)1/2 of the polyvalent metal salt compound is 0.0 to 6.0;
• wherein when an amount of the polyvalent metal salt compound in the toner particle is denoted by Wa (% by mass),
• an amount of a polyvalent metal in the polyvalent metal salt compound is denoted by Ma (μmol/g),
• a mass amount of the inorganic white pigment in the toner particle is denoted by Wp (% by mass), and
• an amount of the acidic group at the surface of the inorganic white pigment is denoted by Ap (μmol/g), the following is satisfied:
• 0.1≤(Wa×Ma)/(Wp×Ap)≤2.0.
