Abstract: A charging member includes: an electrically conductive base; an elastic layer disposed on the electrically conductive base; and a surface layer disposed on the elastic layer. A PFVTF value of a surface of the surface layer is 1.5 or less. The PFVTF value is obtained by Fourier transforming a roughness curve of the surface of the surface layer that is measured in a circumferential direction to thereby obtain amplitude intensities at different periods, multiplying the amplitude intensities at different periods by VTF coefficients at respective periods that are obtained from a visual characteristic VTFL* (f=period) for lightness L* represented by Formula (V) below to thereby obtain corrected amplitude intensities at different periods, and integrating the corrected amplitude intensities in a period range of from 100 ?m to 1000 ?m inclusive: VTFL*(f)=5.05×(e(?0.843×1×f)?e(?1.454×1×f)).
