A plurality of toner particles each include a toner core, a shell layer covering a surface of the toner core, and a plurality of magnetic particles penetrating the shell layer. Each of the magnetic particles has an embedded portion and a protrusion portion. The embedded portions are embedded in the surface of the toner core. The protrusion portions are located further outward than the embedded portions in a radial direction of the toner particle and protrude outward from a surface of the shell layer in the radial direction of the toner particle. An average Heywood diameter X of the magnetic particles, a shell layer thickness Y, and an average value Z of protrusion heights of the respective magnetic particles satisfy relation (1) and relation (2) shown below. 0<Z≦(X/2) (1) 10 nm≦Y≦50 nm (2)
