A cathode material is provided which comprises secondary particles of cathode active material particles including central particles of LixFeyMzPO4 and a carbonaceous film which coats the central particles, wherein a particle size distribution thereof has maximum values of a relative particle amount on both fine and coarse particle sides. A particle diameter with the maximum relative particle amount on the fine particle side is in a range A of 0.70 μm to 2.00 μm, and a particle diameter with the maximum relative particle amount on the coarse particle side is in a range B of 7.00 μm to 15.00 μm. A difference between maximum values of a relative particle amount is 2.00% to 6.00%.
