<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner and an image forming method, having excellent charging stability even when the humidity is low or high, forming a uniform electric field in a developing region and a transfer region, and causing no image defect. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The toner is used in the image forming method, in which an electrostatic charge image is formed on a charged electrostatic charge image support, the electrostatic charge image is developed to form a toner image, a toner image on the electrostatic charge image support is transferred to a transfer material, and the toner image on the transfer material is fixed. The electrostatic charge image support is a photoreceptor obtained by sequentially laminating a photoconductive layer and a surface layer formed of hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide, and a sum of an atomic density of silicon atoms and an atomic density of carbon atoms in the surface layer of the photoreceptor is 6.60×10<SP>22</SP>atoms/cm<SP>3</SP>or more, the toner has a binder resin and magnetic iron oxide particles, and the magnetic iron oxide particles contain Fe(2+) at a content of 20.0 mass% or more and 25.0 mass% or less.
