摘要： An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a developing device, a toner container, a container support member, a toner supply unit, a transfer device, a fixing device, and a restricting mechanism. The toner container includes a container housing having a container opening, a sealing member having a hole that communicates with the container opening, and a shutter member. The shutter member is slidable between a closed position and an open position at which a front end portion of the shutter member in an attachment direction at least partially overlaps with the sealing member. When the shutter member is at the open position, the front end portion is pressed in a direction away from the toner container by the sealing member, and the restricting mechanism restricts a position of a back end portion of the shutter member, the back end portion is opposed to the front end portion.
