PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner which is excellent in low-temperature fixing property and satisfies both excellent low-temperature fixing property and heat resistance/storage stability without causing smear of the toner and a release agent onto carrier and other members even in long-term use, and to provide a developer, an image forming apparatus, an image forming method and a process cartridge using the toner. SOLUTION: The toner contains at least a binder resin, a colorant and the release agent, wherein the binder resin contains a styrene-acrylic resin and a polyester resin, the polyester resin is obtained by condensation polymerization of an alcohol component and a carboxylic acid component containing a rosin compound, the amount of the rosin compound contained in the carboxylic acid component is≥5 mass% based on the total mass of the alcohol component and carboxylic acid component, and the amount of an abietic acid contained in the toner is≤1 mass%.
