Original Abstract Submitted
a developing apparatus includes a developer holder that supplies a developer to an image holder on which an electrostatic latent image is formed; a regulation member that regulates an amount of the developer held by the developer holder; a shielding member that covers a part of the developer holder and the regulation member; and a suction portion that has, in a covering region covered by the shielding member of the developer holder, a first flow path allowing air to flow in from a first inlet provided on a downstream side of a movement of the developer holder, and a second flow path allowing air to flow in from a second inlet provided on an upstream side of the movement of the developer holder, and that sucks the air via the first flow path and the second flow path.
