A developing device is provided. A developing device bears a developer stored in a developer tank on a developing roller and conveys the developer to a photoreceptor drum to develop an electrostatic latent image. A doctor blade is provided to come into pressure-contact with the developing roller, and regulates layer thickness of the developer borne on the developing roller. The doctor blade has an elastic rubber section and a support section. The support section has a fixation section that is formed into a plate shape in parallel to the axis of the developing roller and is fixed to the developer tank, and an insertion section that continues from the fixation section and is inserted into the elastic rubber section. The insertion section has an proximity curved section that is curved in a direction in proximity to the developing roller.
