Disclosed are: an electrophotographic photosensitive body which has sufficient wear resistance and satisfactory characteristics for photosensitive bodies, while being affected little by harmful gases or temperature/humidity conditions; and a method for producing the electrophotographic photosensitive body. Specifically disclosed is an electrophotographic photosensitive body which has at least a photosensitive layer on a conductive body. The photosensitive layer contains a diadamantyl diester compound represented by general formula (I). (In general formula (I), R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6-20 carbon atoms or a heterocyclic group; X and Z each represents a single bond or a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1-6 carbon atoms; and Y represents an OCO group or a COO group.) |
