A carrier is provided containing a core; and a cover layer located overlying the core, wherein the cover layer comprises a binder resin, a first particulate material and a second particulate material, wherein the following relationships are satisfied: 1 < (D1/h) < 10, and 0.001 < (D2/h) < 1, wherein D1 (µm) represents the volume average particle diameter of the first particulate material, D2 (µm) represents the volume average particle diameter of the second particulate material, and h (µm) represents the thickness of the cover layer, and wherein the second particulate material has a volume resistivity of not greater than 1. 0 x 10 12 ©.cm. In addition, a developer including the carrier, a developer container, and a process cartridge, and image forming apparatus and an image forming method using the developer are provided.
