Developing vision-language models (VLMs) that generalize across diverse tasks requires large-scale training datasets with diverse content. In English, such datasets are typically constructed by aggregating and curating numerous existing visual question answering (VQA) resources. However, this strategy does not readily extend to other languages, where VQA datasets remain limited in both scale and domain coverage. In this work, we introduce Jagle, the largest Japanese multimodal post-training dataset to date, comprising approximately 9.2 million instances across diverse tasks. Rather than relying on existing VQA datasets, we collect heterogeneous source data, including images, image-text pairs, and PDF documents, and generate VQA pairs through multiple strategies such as VLM-based QA generation, translation, and text rendering. Experiments demonstrate that a 2.2B model trained with Jagle surpasses InternVL3.5-2B in average score across ten Japanese evaluation tasks and comes within five points of Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct. Moreover, combining Jagle with FineVision improves English performance over training with FineVision alone. These benefits generalize across model backbones and scales: LLM-jp-4-VL 9B beta, a 9B-scale model built on the Japanese-centric LLM-jp-4-8B-instruct, achieves Japanese performance comparable to Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct. To facilitate reproducibility and future research, we release the dataset, models, and code.
