A method for manufacturing a bent member, the method includes feeding an elongated steel material in a longitudinal direction with one end portion of the steel material as a head, performing high-frequency induction heating to one portion of the steel material in the longitudinal direction by being supplied high-frequency power to form a high-temperature portion, bending the steel material by applying a bending moment in an arbitrary direction to the high-temperature portion to form a bent portion, and injecting a cooling medium to the bent portion to cool the bent portion. The bending includes forming the bent portion having a ratio R/W which is equal to or lower than a predetermined value, where the ratio R/W is a ratio obtained by dividing a bending radius R [mm] of the bent portion on a centroid line of the steel material by a dimension W [mm] in a bend direction in a cross-section of the steel material orthogonal to the centroid line, slowing down a feeding speed of the steel material less than V1, where the V1 is the feeding speed of the steel material while forming the bent portion having the ratio R/W which is more than the predetermined value, and reducing the high-frequency power supplied while forming the high-temperature portion less than Q1, where the Q1 is the high-frequency power supplied while forming the bent portion having the ratio R/W which is more than the predetermined value.
