Provided is a thin film magnetic head capable of appropriately control the flow of magnetic flux from a yoke layer to a pole layer so as to prevent information from being overwritten without intention during recording. A perpendicular recording system thin film magnetic head is formed so that a portion of a yoke layer and a portion of a pole layer are connected to each other in a connecting surface. When a large amount of the magnetic flux contained in the yoke layer flows into the pole layer through the connecting surface, the large amount of the magnetic flux is concentrated in the connecting surface, so an excessive amount of the magnetic flux is not supplied to a front end portion of the pole layer, and an appropriate amount of the magnetic flux is supplied. Therefore, by the function of concentrating the magnetic flux in the connecting surface, the flow of the magnetic flux from the yoke layer to the pole layer can be appropriately controlled, thereby information can be prevented from being overwritten without intention during recording.
