An electrophotographic photoconductor includes an electroconductive
substrate, a charge generation layer, and a charge transport layer formed
by using a halogen-free solvent, arranged in this order, in which the
charge generation layer contains a charge generation material having an
average particle diameter smaller than a surface roughness of a plane
where the electroconductive substrate is arranged, and a polyvinyl acetal
resin having a ratio Mw/Mn of a weight-average molecular weight Mw to a
number-average molecular weight Mn is 2.2 or more.
