A hydrodynamic bearing fitted with a seal portion capable of suppressing oil leakage efficiently is offered. Also, a rotor device and a motor using this bearing are offered. The seal portion is formed using a shaft-side tapering portion formed in a shaft and a sleeve-side tapering portion formed in an insertion hole in a sleeve. If the axis of rotation tilts when the shaft is at rest or during rotation, the interval between the outer surface of the shaft and the inner surface of the insertion hole decreases in the opening portion of the insertion hole. However, the two tapering portions secure a gap sufficient to hold oil within the hydrodynamic bearing if the interval decreases. Leakage of the oil from the opening portion of the insertion hole can be suppressed efficiently.
