In addition, a second rotation member is rotatable and located downstream in the toner conveying direction of the conveyance path, wherein the second rotation member rotates about a second rotating shaft to convey toner from the outlet portion away from the toner conveyance path, and an agitation device agitates toner in the toner conveyance path. One end portion of the agitation device is connected to a first eccentric shaft eccentric with regard to the first rotation member and another end portion of the agitation device is connected to a second eccentric shaft eccentric with regard to the second rotation member.
