PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carrier, a two-component developer, a process cartridge, and an image forming apparatus suitable for obtaining a high-quality image with stable carrier characteristics for a long period of time without causing toner overcharge. In a carrier for developing an electrostatic latent image in which a coating layer is provided on the surface of magnetic particles, the coating layer contains at least a metal alkoxide, a resin having a hydroxyl group that reacts with the metal alkoxide, and inorganic fine particles. An electrophotographic carrier. [Selection] Figure 1 |
