An image forming apparatus and associated method is provided and includes plural image forming mechanisms. Each forming mechanism includes an image carrying member, a development mechanism, and a toner storage. The image carrying member carries an electrostatic latent image. The development mechanism develops the electrostatic latent image into a visual image. The intermediate transfer member sequentially receives toner images into a composite toner image and transfers the composite toner image to a recording sheet. The toner storages have an approximately rectangular shape having a rectangular transverse section. At least one of the toner storages has a greater toner capacity than others of the toner storages, and a length of a short side of the rectangular transverse section of the toner storages having the greater toner capacity is approximately equal to lengths of long sides of the rectangular transverse sections of the others of the toner storages.
