CLEANING BLADE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS INCLUDING CLEANING BLADE

The invention provides a cleaning blade and an image forming apparatus including the cleaning blade, which can restrain the deviation of abutment pressure to a rotational body. The cleaning blade (71)removes a foreign matter adhering to a photoreceptor (1) as the rotational body includes: an abutment member (21); a supporting member (22) that supports the abutment member (21); and a holding member (23) that holds the supporting member (22), wherein the abutment member (21) includes: an abutment layer (31) abutting on the photoreceptor (1); and an adjustment layer (32) that is a part other than the abutment layer (31), and an elongation percentage of the adjustment layer (32) is larger than an elongation percentage of the abutment layer (31) in a case where frictional force is applied fromthe photoreceptor (1) to the abutment member (21) during rotation of the photoreceptor (1). 本发明提供一种清洁板及具备其的图像形成装置，该清洁板及具备其的图像形成装置能够抑制对旋转体的抵接压的偏差。清洁板(71)是去除附着于作为旋转体的感光体(1)的异物的清洁板。清洁板(71)具备：抵接部件(21)；支承部件(22)，其支承抵接部件(21)；保持部件(23
