Abstract
A toner for developing an electrostatic latent image includes toner particles. An average aspect ratio of the toner particles, having predetermined diameters of at least 3 μm and less than 10 μm, is in the range from about 0.820 to about 0.900, and the difference between the maximum value and minimum value among the average aspect ratios D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, and D9 is up to 0.07. Dn represents an average aspect ratio of those toner particles having a diameter of at least n μm and less than n+1 μm.
