A method of manufacturing a toner carrier roller that is shaped like a
cylinder on an outer circumferential surface of which concave and convex
sections for carrying toner are provided, includes: preparing a roller
base member which is shaped like a cylinder; forming helix-like first
grooves on the outer circumferential surface of the roller base member;
and forming helix-like second grooves, which cross the first grooves, on
the outer circumferential surface of the roller base member, wherein a
pitch ratio of the first grooves and the second grooves is a non-integer
ratio.
