The present invention provides a toner for electrostatically charged image development comprising at least a binder resin, a colorant and a releasing agent. The releasing agent satisfies the following equations (1) and (2): 0.1.ltoreq..eta.*a.ltoreq.1.0 (1) 1.1.ltoreq..eta.*b/.eta.*a.ltoreq.3.5 (2) wherein .eta.*a represents a complex viscosity (Pas) determined from a first dynamic viscoelasticity measurement at a measuring frequency of the releasing agent of 6.28 rad/s, .eta.*b represents a complex viscosity (Pas) determined from a second dynamic viscoelasticity measurement at a measuring frequency of the releasing agent of 62.8 rad/s, and each of the first and second dynamic viscoelasticities is measured in a temperature range from a temperature that is 15.degree. C. lower than the melting point of the releasing agent to a temperature that is 15.degree. C. higher than the melting point of the releasing agent.
