Toner, image forming apparatus, image forming method, process cartridge, and developer

A toner, comprising:

• a colorant;
• and
• a resin,
• wherein:
• the toner has crystallinity CX of 20 or greater, and has a dynamic viscoelasticity characteristic in which a logarithmic value log G′(50) of storage elastic modulus (Pa) at 50° C. is from 6.5 to 8.0, and a logarithmic value log G′(65) of storage elastic modulus (Pa) at 65° C. is from 4.5 to 6.0, where the dynamic viscoelasticity characteristic is measured by temperature sweep from 40° C., at a frequency of 1 Hz, at a strain amount control of 0.1%, and at a temperature elevating rate of 2° C./min;
• and
• the toner has tan δ(50) of 0.1 to 0.4 at 50° C., and tan δ(65) of 0.4 to 2.0 at 65° C., where tan δ indicates loss tangent (loss coefficient) defined by a ratio G″/G′ between storage elastic modulus (G′) and loss elastic modulus (G″).
