Toner

A toner, comprising:

• a toner particle comprising a binder resin and wax;
• a surface of the toner particle comprises protrusions made of an organosilicon polymer, the organosilicon polymer having a structure represented by R—SiO3/2 when R represents an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a phenyl group;
• and
• when observing a cross section of the toner with a scanning transmission electron microscope, W is 80 to 250 nm and His 25 to 100 nm where W is a number-average value of a width of the protrusions and His an average height of the protrusions measured by a scanning probe microscope, wherein
• X30 is 25 to 300, and X45 is 400 to 1000 when X30 denotes slope X measured at 30° C. and X45 denotes slope X measured at 45° C. where slope X is a straight line obtained by performing a micro-compression test on one particle of the toner, obtaining a relationship of a deformation amount (μm) with respect to a load (mN), calculating a percentage deformation (%), which is a ratio of the deformation amount to a particle diameter of the particle that was measured, plotting a load (mN)-percentage deformation (%) plot, and then using all the points plotted within the range in which the percentage deformation was 15% or less of the particle diameter of the particle that was measured for approximation by a least squares method.
