A developing unit to develop an image by supplying a developer to a photosensitive medium on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, the developing unit includes a container containing a developer and barriers to partition a portion from other portions of an inside of the container, and a space defined by the barrier is not filled with the developer. Also, an electrophotographic image forming apparatus equipped with a photosensitive medium, on which an electrostatic latent image is formed on an outer surface of the photosensitive medium by light scanning, and a developing unit to develop an image by supplying a developer to the photosensitive medium, the apparatus includes the developing unit as described above.
