Original Abstract Submitted
an external additive for toner comprising: a fine particle a containing, as a binder component, an organosilicon compound having a siloxane bond; and a fine particle b that is present on a surface of the fine particle a in a state of being at least partially embedded in the surface of the fine particle a, wherein the external additive for toner (i) has a number-average particle diameter of a primary particle of 0.03 �m or more and 0.30 �m or less, and (ii) has a young's modulus of 10 gpa or more and 30 gpa or less, wherein content ratios, on a number basis, of the following unit (a), unit (b), and unit (c) in the fine particle a based on all silicon atoms present in the fine particle a satisfy the following expressions (1) and (2).
