A toner manufacturing method that allows production of toner having desired characteristics with stability in accordance with fusion emulsification technique for obtaining a toner by granulating a resin kneaded product while dispersing it in an aqueous medium. A resin kneaded product containing at least a binder resin and a colorant is mixed with a dispersant/water-containing aqueous medium. The resultant admixture is stirred by an stirring apparatus including a screen with an admixture discharge hole disposed internally of a vessel and a rotor disposed in an stirring space created by the screen.
