A developing apparatus, an image formation apparatus and a process cartridge is provided. Even though the sealing materials of the initial developer container are stripped off in such a way that the process cartridge having the developing apparatus is tilted, the initial developer can be uniformly supplied along the central axis line of the developer carrier. The developing apparatus performs a self toner control and has an initial developer case 10 for containing the non-used initial developer 3c that is input into the developer containing space S. The initial developer case 10 is divided internally into a plurality of partition spaces 10b along the direction of the central axial line D of the developing sleeve 4, so that a plurality of partitions 10c is formed inside the initial developer case 10. Based on the opening 10a for inputting the initial developer, the partition surface F facing to the partition space 10b of each partition 10c is tilted from an imaginary plane G perpendicular to the central axial line D of the developing sleeve 4 toward one end H along the direction of the central axial line D of the developing sleeve 4.
