The present invention provides a resin composition and an image forming material excellent in dispersibility of a near-infrared absorbing material having a maximum absorption wavelength in a 900 nm band, and an image forming method using the image forming material. A resin composition containing a perillium-based squarylium compound represented by the following formula (I), an image forming material, and an image forming method using the image forming material. In the following formula (I), R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 each independently represents an alkyl group having 2 to 5 carbon atoms. [Selection figure] None |
