PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a developer container that can reduce a dead space on a developer conveyance path and reduce an uneven distribution of the developer in a direction orthogonal to a developer conveyance direction.SOLUTION: There is provided a developer container 14 including an opening 19 and storing a developer, the developer container including a developer conveyance board 14b conveying a developer, where the developer conveyance board 14b includes a vibration target part 14b1 receiving vibration, and conveys a developer with the vibration transmitted from the vibration target part 14b1 by using a resultant force of a conveyance component in a first direction to convey the developer to the opening 19 and a conveyance component in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; the maximum acceleration a1(max) in the first direction provided from the vibration target parts 14b1 to the developer conveyance board 14b is set smaller than the maximum acceleration a2(max) in a direction opposite to the first direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
