The electrophotographic photoreceptor and the electrophotographic image forming apparatus have good photosensitivity and charging properties and good stability over repeated charging obtained by using an optimum combination of a new crystal type of a highly photosensitive titanyl phthalocyanine and a distyryl compound which is a charge transporting material that is compatible with the titanyl phthalocyanine.

An electrophotography photosensitive body has a single layer photosensitive layer on top of a conductive substrate, directly or via an undercoat layer. The single layer photosensitive layer contains at least a resin binder, a charge generating substance, and a charge transport substance, wherein at least one of the charge generating substances is a titanyl phthalocyanine, which, in a x-ray powder diffraction spectrum having a radiation source of CuK alpha and within a range of a Bragg angle 2theta=5~35°, a ratio, R, of a value, P, of a diffraction intensity of a highest peak and a value, B, of a diffraction intensity of the background satisfies the equation R=(P-B) / B<=7.0. The resulting electrophotographic photosensitive layer shows excellent electrical properties with positive charging as well as excellent stability when repeatedly used.
