However, in order to control the triboelectric charge amount imparted to the hydrophobic metal oxide, a treating agent such as an amino-substituted silane compound or an amino-modified organopolysiloxane is added according to the type of toner used. , It is not only very difficult to sufficiently hydrophobize and to arbitrarily adjust the electric charge by preparing with the kind and the addition amount of the treating agent added, but the operation is complicated, and it is carried out by trial and error. Therefore, there was a problem that the adjustment efficiency was poor. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive studies in order to perform sufficient hydrophobization and arbitrary charge adjustment, and as a result, by adding a small amount of an acidic compound to a treating agent having an amino group to cause a reaction, a positive charging property is obtained. It is possible to reduce the amount of the amino group exhibiting the above, so that the charge of the hydrophobic metal oxide treated with the treating agent having an amino group can be arbitrarily adjusted by the amount of the acidic compound, and further the obtained hydrophobic metal oxide can be obtained. The present invention has been made on the basis of this finding and found that the dispersibility of powder improves and the fluidity of the toner when added to the toner also greatly improves. Therefore, the first problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a highly dispersible hydrophobic metal oxide powder having an adjusted charge and excellent fluidity. A second problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for producing a highly dispersible hydrophobic metal oxide powder having an adjusted charge and excellent fluidity.
