Original Abstract Submitted

a toner container is provided with a bag member made of flexible film material and a discharging member connected to the bag member and configured to discharge toner from an accommodating space to an outside. when a length from an opposing surface of the discharging member to an end portion in an opposite side of the opposing surface of the bag member in a first direction is defined as xmax, and in a case in which a position x (0≤x≤xmax) using the opposing surface as a reference in the first direction is given, a length of the bag member on a plane perpendicular to the first direction in a second direction is defined as y and a length of the bag member on the plane in a third direction is defined as z, in a case in which z is z in x=0, xmax>y≥z in a range of 0≤x≤xmax, 0.8�z≤z≤1.2�z in the range of 0≤x≤xmax, and y≤2�z in a range of 0≤x<0.5�xmax.
