The present invention provides a charge control agent, adapted to control
charging ability of resins or compositions containing resins, comprising
a copolymer that comprises a polymer block A and a polymer block B, the
polymer block A is prepared by copolymerizing a maleimide, which being
unsubstituted or substituted for a hydrogen atom of an imide group by an
electron-donating group, and styrene or a styrene derivative, and the
polymer block B is formed of a polymer of styrene or a styrene
derivative.
