A lithographic printing plate precursor of the present invention comprises
a water-resistant support, a hydrophilic layer and an image-forming layer,
in this order, said hydrophilic layer comprising a fine particulate
hydrophobicizing precursor and a hydrophilic binder polymer, and said
image forming layer comprising a light-heat converting substance and a
microcapsule encapsulating a hydrophobic substance, wherein the
hydrophilic binder polymer is a composite material of a hydrophilic
organic polymer and a polymer having a group including: at least one atom
selected from a metal atom and semimetal atom; and an oxygen atom
connecting with the at least one atom selected from a metal atom and
semimetal atom.
