Original Abstract Submitted

A cartridge includes a toner storage unit and a developing unit. A movement member moves between a first position and a second position in a second direction that intersects a first direction. The first direction includes an attachment direction in which the toner storage unit is attached to the developing unit and a detachment direction in which the toner storage unit is detached from the developing unit. The first position is a position where an engaging portion is engaged with an engaged portion such that the toner storage unit moves integrally with the developing unit when the toner storage unit is moved in the detachment direction. The second position is a position where the engaging portion is not engaged with the engaged portion such that the toner storage unit is withdrawn from the developing unit and moved when the toner storage unit is moved in the detachment direction.
