A toner including: a binder resin; a releasing agent; and a colorant, wherein the binder resin contains a crystalline polyester resin and a non-crystalline polyester resin, wherein the releasing agent has an endothermic peak temperature of 60 °C to 80 °C at the second temperature rising in differential scanning calorimetry, and wherein the releasing agent is an ester wax which satisfies the following expressions (1) and (2): 1.1 Pa•s ≤η*a ≤2.0 Pa•s•••Expression (1) 0.001≤η*b/ η*a≤1.00••• Expression (2) where in Expressions (1) and (2), η*a denotes a complex viscosity (Pa•s) determined by measuring a dynamic viscoelasticity of the releasing agent at a measurement frequency of 6.28 rad/s, and η*b denotes a complex viscosity (Pa•s) determined by measuring a dynamic viscoelasticity of the releasing agent at a measurement frequency of 62.8 rad/s. |
