An object of the present invention is to provide a ferrite particle having a low apparent density, filling a specified volume with a low weight with various properties maintained in a controllable state, a ferrite carrier core material composed of the ferrite particle, and a ferrite carrier using the ferrite core material and an electrophotographic developer. To achieve the object, the ferrite particle having the outer shell structure containing the Ti oxide for the ferrite carrier core material, and the ferrite carrier using the ferrite particle as the ferrite carrier core material and the electrophotographic developer are employed.
