The present invention relates to toners. A toner comprising toner particles comprising toner base particles and a silicone polymer on the surface of the toner base particles, wherein the silicone polymer is in the toner A convex portion having a prescribed structure is formed on the surface of the base particle, and in the cross section of the toner, when the convex width w is the length of the portion where the convex portion and the toner base particle form a continuous interface, the convex diameter D is the convex portion The maximum length, and the protrusion height H is the length from the apex of the protrusion to the line along the circumference of the toner base particle surface, and the ratio D/w of the protrusion diameter D to the protrusion width w is 0.33 to 0.80 for these The number ratio of the convex portions is 70 number % or more. |
