The method of producing polymerized toner, the method including: dispersing a polymerizable monomer composition containing at least a polymerizable monomer and a colorant in an aqueous medium; and polymerizing the polymerizable monomer in the aqueous medium with a polymerization initiator to produce toner particles, and is characterized in that a polymerization initiator which has a specific structure and the hydrogen bond dissociation energies of which satisfy specific relationships is used as the polymerization initiator.
