摘要： An object of the invention is to provide a developer container without a complicated mechanism that allows a powdered developer to be supplied to the main body of an image forming apparatus while the developer container main body containing a developer is rotatably supported stably and the developer contained therein is prevented from aggregating during rotation A developer container (130) includes a developer container main body (131) which is substantially cylindrically formed and in which the developer used for image formation is contained, the developer container main body (131) having its axial intermediate portion radially opened, and adapted to transfer the contained developer toward the intermediate portion by being rotated around an axial line (L131), and a supporting member (132) for supporting an intermediate portion in an axial line direction of the developer container main body (131) over the entire periphery thereof from radially outside as the developer container main body (131) is rotatable around the axial line (L131), and having a through hole (151) for guiding the developer from the developer container main body (131) to outside.
