An optical scanning apparatus for optical scan that oscillates at least partially an oscillating body having a reflective mirror portion, to thereby modulate a direction in which the reflective mirror portion causes incident light thereon to be reflected off, is disclosed, the oscillating body comprising: a first spring portion, coupled to the reflective mirror portion, and excited to generate a torsional oscillation of the first spring portion; and a plurality of second spring portions, coupled to the first spring portion, and coupled to a fixed frame portion of the oscillating body in a bifurcation manner with a bifurcation spacing of the plurality of second spring portions being larger than a width of the first spring portion, the plurality of second spring portions being excited to generate flexural and torsional oscillations thereof.
