Summary:A toner includes toner particles each including a toner mother particle and external additive particles attached to the surface of the toner mother particle. The external additive particles include fluororesin particles, specific external additive particles, and silica particles. The specific external additive particles contain barium titanate or strontium titanate. The silica particles have a detachment fraction of at least 5% by mass and no greater than 22% by mass. The detachment fraction of the silica particles is a percentage of a mass M2 of silica particles of the silica particles that have separated from the toner mother particles after ultrasonication to a mass M1 of the silica particles included in the toner particles before the ultrasonication. The ultrasonication is application of ultrasonic vibration to a mixed liquid of 5 g of the toner and 105.5 g of a nonionic surfactant-containing aqueous solution containing 0.55 g of a nonionic surfactant.
