A toner supplying roller is provided in which a polyurethane foam layer
can be obtained without decreasing the reactivity of the polyurethane
material, and in which contamination by a catalyst remaining in the
polyurethane foam layer is suppressed, so that a good image can be
obtained. Moreover, the toner supplying roller has suitable aperture
cells in the surface, suitably performs the scraping off of the
development residual toner and toner supply between the toner supplying
roller and the developing roller, and forms a uniform toner thin film on
the developing roller, so that a good image can be obtained. In a toner
supplying roller including a polyurethane foam layer that is formed on
the mandrel periphery using a polyurethane material including a polyol
and a polyisocyanate, the polyol and the polyisocyanate have an amine
number of 3 mg KOH/g or more and 15 mg KOH/g or less in total.
