Original Abstract Submitted
The external additive for toner includes an external additive particle containing: a base particle A; and a plurality of convex forming particles B each configured to form a convex portion on a surface of the base particle A. The base particle A and the convex forming particles B are particles each containing a silicon compound having a siloxane bond, and a chemical bond is formed between the base particle A and each of the convex forming particles B. The base particle A and the convex forming particles B each have a total content of the following unit (a), unit (b), and unit (c) of 80 mass % or more and 100 mass % or less:
