A charge device includes a charging belt, an electrode member, a bias supplying unit and a discharge region forming member. The belt comes into contact with a charged body. The electrode member is in contact with a part of an inner peripheral surface of the charging belt. The electrode member faces the charged body across the charging belt between the electrode member and the charged body. A downstream-side portion of the charging belt is located downstream of a position where the charged body faces the electrode member, in a moving direction of the charged body. The discharge region forming member brings the downstream-side portion into contact with the electrode member to form a discharge region in which discharge occurs between the downstream-side portion and the charged body.
