1. A ferrite sintered body containing:
Fe;
Mn;
Zn;
Cu; and
Ni,
wherein when Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, and Ni are converted into Fe2O3, Mn2O3, ZnO, CuO, and NiO, respectively, and a sum of contents of Fe2O3, Mn2O3, ZnO, CuO, and NiO is 100 mol %, a sum of the contents of Fe2O3 and Mn2O3 is 48.47 mol % to 49.93 mol %, the content of Mn2O3 is 0.07 mol % to 0.37 mol %, the content of ZnO is 28.95 mol % to 33.50 mol %, and the content of CuO is 2.98 mol % to 6.05 mol %,
102 ppm to 4,010 ppm Zr in terms of ZrO2 and 10 ppm to 220 ppm Al in terms of Al2O3 are further contained per 100 parts by weight of a sum of amounts of contained Fe2O3, Mn2O3, ZnO, CuO, and NiO, and
in a cross section of the ferrite sintered body, an area fraction of pores and an area fraction of segregations containing Cu are 2.0% or less.
