1. An electrophotographic photoreceptor, comprising a crosslinked material comprising units obtained from:
a radical polymerizing monomer A having three or more radical polymerizing groups in an amount of 20-80%;
a compound B having the following formula (1):
B1—Ar1—CH═CH—Ar2—B2  (1)
wherein Ar1 represents a substituted or an unsubstituted monovalent group or bivalent group formed of an aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton; Ar2 represents a monovalent group or a bivalent group formed of an aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton or heterocyclic compound skeleton having one or more tertiary amino groups; and wherein at least one of B1 and B2 is a hydrogen atom, and the other when not hydrogen is an acryloyloxy group; a methacryloyloxy group; a vinyl group; an alkyl group having an acryloyloxy group, a methacryloyloxy group or a vinyl group; or an alkoxy group having an acryloyloxy group, a methacryloyloxy group or a vinyl group; and
optionally a photo polymerization initiator.
