A developing-agent receiving device, to which a developing agent is replenished from a developing-agent replenishment container, includes a developing-agent storage part which is provided with a receiving opening part for receiving the developing agent from the developing-agent replenishment container, and which stores the developing agent, and a stirring unit which is rotatable around a rotary shaft to stir the developing agent within the developing-agent storage part. The stirring unit conveys the developing agent received from the receiving opening part along the rotary shaft of the stirring unit. The stirring unit has a first stirring member of screw shape which is provided in the vicinity of the receiving opening part and a second stirring member which is provided at a position farther away from the receiving opening part than the first stirring member and which is smaller in developing-agent conveying capacity than the first stirring member. <IMAGE> |
