A toner additive comprising a polymer of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of vinyltoluene, a-methyl styrene and isopropenyl toluene, which has a ring and ball softening point of 130-170° C., or a copolymer of styrene and at least one kind of monomer selected from the above group which has a ring and ball softening point of 110-170° C. By adding such toner additive to a toner, an electrostatic image developing toner which has excellent pulverizability in the pulverizing process and does not fuse to equipment can be obtained. In addition, such toner additive does not affect the fundamental performances of a toner such as electrostatic performance, fixing performance, color, etc. Therefore, an electrostatic image developing toner and electrostatic image developer capable of producing a high quality image can be obtained at a low cost.
