The developing apparatus includes a developer container for housing therein a developer containing toner and carrier; a developer carrying body for holding the developer; and agitating/conveying members for conveying the developer with agitation along an axis direction of the developer carrying body. The developer container includes a development region facing the developer carrying body and an extension region formed adjacent in the direction of the developer carrying body in the development region. Also disposed therein is a developer-flow blocking plate acting as a partition between the development region and the extension region.
