The invention provides a touch sensor for which formation steps are simple and for which conduction failures and insulation failures due to misalignment of pattern formation are unlikely to occur, a manufacturing method for the same, and a transfer ribbon for touch sensor manufacturing. The present invention includes: a first transfer step which uses a transfer ribbon made by at least an insulating layer and an electrode-imparting layer which are entirely sequentially stacked as a transfer layer upon an elongated release film, attaches to a substrate only a portion of the transfer layer to which heat and pressure have been applied, and by stripping the release film, transfers the transfer layer in at least the shape of a first electrode film; and a second transfer step which, after the first transfer step, using a transfer ribbon of the same configuration as in the first transfer step, overlays the same upon the substrate and the layer transferred in the first transfer step, attaches, upon the substrate and the layer which had been transferred in the first transfer step, only the portion of the transfer layer to which the heat and the pressure had been applied, and by stripping the release film, transfers the transfer layer in at least the shape of a second electrode film.
