A developing apparatus develops a latent image formed on an
electrophotographic photosensitive member with a developer in an
electrophotographic image forming apparatus The device includes a
developer accommodating portion and a developer stirring member stirring
the developer in the developer accommodating portion. The developer
stirring member includes a rotatable member rotatably provided in the
developer accommodating portion, first and second stirring rotatable
portions provided on the rotatable member, and first and second movable
stirring portions movably provided on the first and second stirring
rotatable portions, respectively. The radius of rotation of the first and
second stirring rotatable portions are different from each other, and a
part of a stirring region in which the first stirring rotatable portion
and the first movable stirring portion stir the developer and a part of a
stirring region in which the second stirring rotatable portion and the
second movable stirring portion stirs the developer, overlap.
