A cartridge includes a casing, a photosensitive drum supported by the casing, and a coupling operatively connected to the photosensitive drum and rotatable in a rotational direction about a rotational axis. The coupling includes a shaft portion with an opening, an engaging portion having an upstream portion configured to receive a driving force, a downstream portion configured to receive a force opposing the driving force, and an upper portion facing away from the photosensitive drum, and a visor portion projecting from the shaft portion. The rotational axis extends through the opening. A distance from the end of the photosensitive drum to the upper portion decreases along the upper portion in the rotational direction. As viewed from in front of the photosensitive drum along the rotational axis, at least part of the engaging portion is positioned outward of the opening.
