A blowing device includes a blower that blows air and an air duct including an inlet and an outlet. The air duct takes in the air through the inlet and guiding the air so that the air flows out through the outlet toward a corona discharge unit including a target component toward which the air is to be blown. The outlet of the air duct includes a through-portion in a non-overlapping region thereof, the non-overlapping region being a region of the outlet excluding an overlapping region of the outlet. The overlapping region corresponds to an interposed component of the corona discharge unit, the interposed component being located between the outlet and the target component at a position at which the interposed component overlaps the overlapping region.
