A carrier excellent in durability and environmental stability and a two-component developing agent is provided. In the carrier, a core material is coated with a resin, and the coating resin is formed on the core material such that the coating resin comes to be in an amount of 5% by weight to 20% by weight on the basis of a weight of the core material, thereby enhancing durability. Further, the coating resin contains fine particles of titanium oxide, thereby enhancing environmental stability.
