iCata

iCata, the stage name of Catalina “Cata” Salazar, is a Chilean creator and runway model known for blending livestreaming, cosplay, and gamer culture. She began her public activity in 2013 on Canal 13’s “Proyecto Miss Chile,” an early TV showcase that preceded her growth on social platforms. In parallel, she attended geek events and posted character builds that cemented her digital identity and nickname, opening doors in entertainment while adding modeling appearances.

Her visibility rose with anime- and videogame-focused content —including cosplays like Chun-Li and Lara Croft— and in 2017 she moved into TV as a panelist on Fox Sports’ “Fox Players,” commenting on gaming trends and their crossover with sports. Active in 2025 on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch, she mixes streams, short-form clips, and thematic photos. That same year she debuted on a professional runway and also shared images from runway moments in her adolescence, underscoring her modeling side. In 2023 she reached broader mainstream audiences by joining “Gran Hermano Chile” (Chilevisión), sharing the TV ecosystem with figures such as Tonka Tomicic, Diana Bolocco, and Julio César Rodríguez while keeping her core as a digital creator.

Throughout her career she has intersected with the streamer community and Chile’s gamer-event circuit, along with features that leverage her cosplay aesthetics and runway work. Her tone—equal parts humor, approachability, and pop references—keeps her relevant among young audiences and specialized niches.
