The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photosensitive
member including a cylindrical body and a photosensitive layer. The
cylindrical body has provided with an outer circumference, end surfaces
and chamfers formed therebetween. The photosensitive layer is formed on
the outer circumference of the cylindrical body. The photosensitive layer
covers the chamfers. The chamfers have a surface roughness larger than
the outer circumference. Preferably, the end surfaces have a surface
roughness larger than the outer circumference.
