A charging member for charging a member (1) to be charged includes a blade member (2) having an electrode layer (3) and/or a resistive layer thereon, and a supporting member (4) for supporting the blade member (2). The blade member (2) is cut into a predetermined size together with the electrode layer (3) and/or the resistive layer after forming the electrode layer (3) and/or the resistive layer. A charging device uses the charging member. A process unit including the charging device is detachable relative to an image forming apparatus.
