A thin film magnetic head includes a first through fourth free layers, a spacer layer, and a bias magnetic field application layer. The first and second free layers are magnetized in opposite directions of each other in the orthogonal direction to the ABS when the bias magnetic field is applied to the first and second free layers, and are exchange-coupled such that an angle between the magnetization direction of the bias magnetic field and the first free layer is acute and such that an angle between the magnetization direction of the bias magnetic field and the second free layer is acute. Similarly, the third and fourth layers have the same configuration.
