contents We present BIS Reasoning 1.0, the first large-scale Japanese dataset of syllogistic reasoning problems explicitly designed to evaluate belief-inconsistent reasoning in large language models (LLMs). Unlike prior resources such as NeuBAROCO and JFLD, which emphasize general or belief-aligned logic, BIS Reasoning 1.0 systematically introduces logically valid yet belief-inconsistent syllogisms to expose belief bias, the tendency to accept believable conclusions irrespective of validity. We benchmark a representative suite of cutting-edge models, including OpenAI GPT-5 variants, GPT-4o, Qwen, and prominent Japanese LLMs, under a uniform, zero-shot protocol. Reasoning-centric models achieve near-perfect accuracy on BIS Reasoning 1.0 (e.g., Qwen3-32B $\approx$99% and GPT-5-mini up to $\approx$99.7%), while GPT-4o attains around 80%. Earlier Japanese-specialized models underperform, often well below 60%, whereas the latest llm-jp-3.1-13b-instruct4 markedly improves to the mid-80% range. These results indicate that robustness to belief-inconsistent inputs is driven more by explicit reasoning optimization than by language specialization or scale alone. Our analysis further shows that even top-tier systems falter when logical validity conflicts with intuitive or factual beliefs, and that performance is sensitive to prompt design and inference-time reasoning effort. We discuss implications for safety-critical domains, including law, healthcare, and scientific literature, where strict logical fidelity must override intuitive belief to ensure reliability.
