Zusammenfassung:A roller-shaped contact charging member which is in contact with and electrically charges a photo-sensitive drum is provided on a center shaft, and includes a roller-shaped conductive foam material portion covering the shaft, and a tubular-shaped conductive resin material portion covering the foam portion. The foam portion has an electric resistance of 9 x 10 5 .OMEGA. or less, the resin portion includes conductive agents and has a surface electric resistance in a range from 1 x 10 5 .OMEGA./~ or more to 9 x 10 7 .OMEGA./~ or less, and a hardness of the charging roller as a whole is Asker F 90.degree. or less. An image forming unit includes the charging member and the drum. An electrophotographic image forming apparatus supplies a recording paper to the unit, transfers an image from the drum to the paper, and discharges the image-transferred paper.
