The developing apparatus includes developer containing parts and a
replenishment portion. The developer containing parts contains a
developer circularly conveyed in the developer containing parts. The
replenishment portion includes a replenish aperture and a regulation
surface. The replenishment portion merges a replenishment agent passing
through the regulation surface with the developer in the developer
containing part. In the developing apparatus, a wall surface of the
replenishment portion, located on a downstream side in a developer
conveyance direction in the developer containing part facing to the
replenishment portion, is formed by being inclined with respect to the
developer conveyance direction.
