A developing device includes a developing container that accommodates
toner particles, a developing roller that supplies the toner particles to
an image carrier on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, and a
stirring and transporting member that transports the toner particles
inside the developing container toward the developing roller with
stirring by rotating around a shaft axis. The stirring and transporting
member includes a shaft portion serving as a rotation center and
sheet-shaped first stirring blade and second stirring blade fixed to the
shaft portion so as to extend outward in a radius direction from the
shaft portion. The first stirring blade transports the toner particles in
a first transportation direction. The second stirring blade transports
the toner particles in a second transportation direction different from
the first transportation direction.
