    Abstract: A hydrophobic silica powder is disclosed that exhibits reduced desorption of a charge control agent, on the charge-controllable surface, and that is capable of imparting charge properties within a suitable range to toner resin particles to which the hydrophobic silica particles are externally added. A hydrophobic silica powder is characterized in that (1) the hydrophobic silica powder has a hydrophobicity of 50% or more; (2) an amount X is 0.1 mass % or more, the amount X being an amount of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a quaternary ammonium ion, a mono-azo complex, and a mineral acid ion extracted with a mixture solvent of methanol and a ethanesulfonic acid aqueous solution: and (3) the amount X and an amount Y satisfy the following formula (I): Y/X
