1. A liquid development device comprising:

  • a storage section storing a liquid developer in which toner is dispersed;

    a development member to which the liquid developer stored in the storage section is applied using an application unit;

    a removing device that, after an electrostatic latent image in a latent image-holding member is developed, removes the liquid developer remaining in the development member; and

    a shearing device that is provided in a path through which the liquid developer removed using the removing device is returned to the storage section, and applies a shear force to the liquid developer by making the liquid developer pass through a contact section of two members either or both of which rotate and that have different circumferential velocities from each other.
