A cleaning blade member for use in a cleaning section for removing toner on a toner-deposited body, the cleaning blade member comprising: an edge layer contacting the toner-deposited body; and a back layer provided on a back side of the edge layer, and wherein the edge layer has a Young's modulus of 8 to 20 MPa and an impact resilience at 25.degree. C. of 20 to 40%, and when the Young's modulus of the edge layer is designated as E.sub.a, a Young's modulus of the back layer is designated as E.sub.b, a thickness of the edge layer is designated as T.sub.a, and a thickness of the back layer is designated as T.sub.b, a ratio (R.sub.b/R.sub.a) between a contribution rate R.sub.a of the Young's modulus of the edge layer represented by the following equation (1), and a contribution rate R.sub.b of the Young's modulus of the back layer represented by the following equation (2) is 0.01 to 6.0, and a total Young's modulus (R.sub.a+R.sub.b) of the edge layer and the back layer is 7 to 14 MPa: R.sub.a=[T.sub.aE.sub.a/(T.sub.a+T.sub.b)] (1) R.sub.b=[T.sub.bE.sub.b/(T.sub.a+T.sub.b)].
