A hydrophobic fumed silica which has been hydrophobized with a cyclic dimethylsiloxane, characterized by having a value of M, which indicates lipophilicity, in the range of 48 to 65, a tap bulk density of 80 to 130 g/L, excluding 80 g/L, and a value of n, which indicates dispersibility as measured in toluene, of 3.0 to 3.5. This hydrophobic fumed silica has a high bulk density although highly hydrophobic. Because of this, the powder has satisfactory handleability and can be easily mixed with a matrix, e.g., a resin, in a short time and highly dispersed in the matrix.
