An image formation method including developing a latent image on an image bearing member with a toner containing a coloring agent and a first binder resin; transferring the toner to a recording medium; transferring a fixing helping particle containing a second binder resin to the recording medium; and fixing the toner and the fixing helping particle on the recording medium, wherein the toner and the fixing helping particle satisfy the following relationships: 6 �¢ µm ‰¥ Dvc ‰¥ 3 �¢ µm Dvc > 10 × Dvt Sc < St . In the relationships, Dvc represents the volume average particle diameter of the toner, Dvt represents the volume average particle diameter of the fixing helping particle, Sc represents the average circularity of the toner and St represents the average particle diameter of the fixing helping particle.
