Does anyone know what this type of clothing is called?

Answer 1

That's from Yu Yu Hakusho.

Anyway, she is obviously wearing a martial art outfit, not Kimono. Kimono doesn't look like that at all.

*this is kimono: http://www.cleaning-w.co.jp/img/page2/ki...

And what she is wearing is probably "inspired" by some Chinese martial art outfits like these:  http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/I/51...

These uniforms are Shaolin Monk uniforms.

Answer 2

Japanese men and women wear Kimono, and during summer they wear Yukata, summer kimono  or japanese summer clothing, and men wear Jimbe...

Answer 3

That's from Yu Yu Hakusho.

I think that's one scene from martial art plot. If so, it' called Budogi,(martial art cloth),

Answer 4

Actually, it's not Japanese traditional style clothing.

It's like Chinese old style, but I'm not sure if it is a correct or not.

Answer 5

That clothing resembles Manchurian-Chinese clothing of the 17th century Qing Dynasty, which replaced the native hanfu clothing.

Here are some pictures for comparison:

Chinese Hanfu: http://img.hc360.com/cloth/info/images/2...

Japanese yukata: http://kyoto696.rsjp.net/contents_images...

The cheongsam in the picture is a rudimentary example. Some people would've worn a layer over it, which would resemble the clothes in your picture.
