The toner of the present invention includes toner particles containing polyester resins A and B and a colorant, the A has a polyester portion including a portion capable of forming a crystal structure and a crystal nucleating agent portion, which is bonded to an end of the polyester portion, the B is free from any portions capable of forming a crystal structure, in a chart obtained as a result of GPC of a THF-soluble matter of the B, a ratio of a component having a molecular weight of 1500 or less in the B is 5.0 to 15.0% by area, and when an SP value of the polyester portion of the A is represented by Sa ((cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 ) and an SP value of the B is represented by Sb ((cal/cm 3 ) 1/2 ), the SP values Sa and Sb satisfy the following relationships:n n9.50≦Sa≦11.00n n−0.65≦ Sb−Sa ≦0.70. |
