    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a toner container, a storage part, a cover and an opening/closing mechanism. The toner container includes a shutter. The cover is movable between a closed position for closing the storage part and an opened position for opening the storage part. The opening/closing mechanism closes a supply port by rotating the shutter in accordance with an opening operation for moving the cover to the opened position and opens the supply port by rotating the shutter in accordance with a closing operation for moving the cover to the closed position, in a state where the toner container is attached to the storage part. The toner container includes an interference portion which interferes with the opening/closing mechanism to prevent the toner container from being attached to the storage part in a case where the cover is not moved to the opened position normally.
