Zusammenfassung:A developer container (32) has a main part accommodating a developer therein and is detachably attached to a main part of an image forming apparatus (100). The developer container comprises an outlet provided at a side of the developer container to discharge the developer from the developer container. An input unit (37) is provided adjacent to the outlet and has a small-diameter portion an insidediameter of which is smaller than a diameter of the container main part wherein, when the developer container is attached to the image forming apparatus, the input unit is engaged with a drive motor (41) of the image forming apparatus to receive a rotating force of the drive motor. A developer guiding unit (33a, 90Y) causes the developer inside the developer container to be moved to the outlet beyond the small- diameter portion of the input unit by rotation of the developer container.
