A developing device used for the main body of an electrophotographic image forming apparatus to develop an electrostatic latent image formed on an electrophotographic photosensitive member includes a developer bearing member for supplying developer to the electrophotographic photosensitive member to develop the electrostatic latent image formed on the electrophotographic photosensitive member, a developer regulating member for regulating the amount of developer adhering to the surface of the developer bearing member, an electrode member arranged in the traveling route of the developer removed from the surface of the developer bearing member by the developer regulating member to guide the traveling toner in the direction away from the developer bearing member, and a developer in-flow restricting member arranged for preventing the developer from flowing into the surface on the side opposite to the surface of the developer regulating member facing the developer bearing member.
