A developing device of the present invention develops a latent image
formed on an image carrier with a two-ingredient type developer made up
of toner and carrier. The developing device includes a storing member for
storing a fresh developer to be replenished. A conveying device conveys
the fresh developer from the storing member to a case, which stores the
two-ingredient type developer to be deposited on the image carrier, while
fluidizing the fresh developer. An excess developer discharging portion
is configured to discharge excess part of the two-ingredient type
developer to the outside. The developer storing member is implemented as
an at least partly flexible bag.
