A process includes forming an emulsion comprising a monomer and a colorant, the colorant further including an anionic functional group and a lipophilic counter ion, and polymerizing the monomer to form a latex, the latex includes polymer nanoparticles having the colorant dispersed therein.

An electrostatic charge image developing toner contains toner particles that contain an organic colorant and a binder resin, in which the organic colorant includes a non-fluorescent organic pigment and a fluorescent organic pigment, a total content of the organic colorant is 5% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less with respect to a total mass of the toner particles, and a specific gravity D1 of the non-fluorescent organic pigment and a specific gravity D2 of the fluorescent organic pigment satisfy both of Formulas (1) and (2).
