A heat-sensitive material comprising a support having formed thereon a heat-sensitive recording layer, which has a high whiteness and is suitable for use in high-speed recording, is disclosed. The heat-sensitive recording layer comprises a colorless or pale-colored basic dye and a color developing material that, when heated, reacts with the basic dye to form a color, wherein the heat-sensitive recording layer further comprises at least one heat-fusible material having a melting point in the range of 70 DEG C. to 140 DEG C. and selected from the compounds represented by following formulae (I) to (VI): <IMAGE> (I) <IMAGE> (II) <IMAGE> (III) <IMAGE> (IV) <IMAGE> (V) <IMAGE> (VI) wherein R1, R2, R5, R6, and R7 independently represent a phenyl group, a benzyl group, or a tolyl group, each of which groups may be substituted with a halogen atom; and R3 and R4 independently represent an aryl group or an aralkyl group, each of which groups may be substituted with an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, a halogen atom, a hydroxy group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylcarbonyloxy group, an arylcarbonyloxy group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, or an aryloxycarbonyl group.
