Toner production method

A method for producing a toner, the method comprising:

• aggregating and coalescing resin particles and colorant particles in an aqueous medium, wherein
• the resin particles comprise a composite resin comprising a polyester resin segment, an addition polymer resin segment which is an addition polymerized product of a raw material monomer comprising a styrenic compound, and a structural unit derived from a bireactive monomer bonding to the polyester resin segment and the addition polymer resin segment via a covalent bond,
• the colorant particles comprise carbon black having a dibutyl phthalate oil absorption amount of from 20 ml/100 g to 50 ml/100 g as a colorant and an addition polymer of a raw material monomer comprising a styrenic compound, where the addition polymer in the colorant particles comprises a structural unit derived from the styrenic compound in the main chain, and wherein a pH value of carbon black is from 5 to 6.8, and
• a ratio by mass of the colorant to the addition polymer in the colorant particles is from 50/50 to 95/5.
