Disclosed is a yellow toner comprising toner particles containing at least a binder resin, a colorant, and a polar resin. The yellow toner is characterized in that the colorant is a dye compound having a specific structure, the recovery Z (25) of the toner is 40 to 80% as measured by a microcompression test at a temperature of 25°C, and, as measured with a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) device, the toner has a glass transition temperature (TgA) of 40°C to 60°C and a maximum endothermic peak temperature (P1) of 70°C to 90°C, and the maximum endothermic peak temperature (P1) and the glass transition temperature (TgA) satisfy a relationship of 15°C = P1 - TgA = 50°C. |
