1. An intermediate transfer belt comprising:
a resin;
conductive carbon particles; and
an alkyl silicone oil and a modified body thereof,
wherein regions different in a content of the alkyl silicone oil and the modified body thereof are formed on an outer peripheral surface,
in a case where a silicon amount (Atomic %) on the outer peripheral surface is measured along an axial direction using an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the silicon amount is periodically increased and decreased along the axial direction, and
a peak-to-peak distance in an increasing/decreasing period of the silicon amount is 0.1 mm or more and 5.0 mm or less.
