A method of manufacturing a developing roller, including: a first rolling
process for forming a first inclined groove which is continuous in a
helical shape, by rotating a first die having blades inclined with
respect to an axial direction and a circumferential direction, and a
non-bladed die, and feeding an unprocessed developing roller between the
first die and the non-bladed die; and a second rolling process for
forming a second inclined groove which is continuous in a helical shape
and intersects with the first inclined groove, by rotating a second die
having blades inclined with respect to an axial direction and a
circumferential direction in the direction opposite to that of the first
die, and the non-bladed die in the same direction opposite to that in the
first rolling process, and feeding the developing roller between the
second die and the non-bladed die.
