Abstract
A toner particle for developing an electrostatically charged image includes a toner base particle and a resin coating covering the toner base particle. The toner base particle includes a recess on a surface of the toner base particle. The recess has a depth of 50 nm to 500 nm. The resin coating includes a coating (A) portion having a thickness of 10 nm or more and less than 50 nm and a coating (B) portion having a thickness of 50 nm or more and 500 nm or less, and the coating (B) portion is present on the recess.

A toner particle for developing an electrostatically charged image, the toner particle comprising:
- a toner base particle;
- and
- a resin coating covering a surface of the toner base particle, wherein
- the toner base particle includes a recess on the surface of the toner base particle,
- the recess has a depth of 50 nm to 500 nm,
- the resin coating includes a coating (A) portion having a thickness of 10 nm or more and less than 50 nm and a coating (B) portion having a thickness of 50 nm or more and 500 nm or less, and
- the coating (B) portion is present on the recess,
- a ratio of a sum of the coating (B) portion included in the resin coating to a sum of the resin coating included in the toner particles for developing the electrostatically charged image is 30 to 60%, and
- the resin coating is formed with resin fine particles that are produced without using an emulsifier and are composed of a material that is different from the toner base particle, and that have particle sizes,
- the standard deviation of the particle sizes of the resin fine particle is 0.15 or less.
