+# capitalize
+
+문자열의 첫 번째 문자를 대문자로 변환하고, 나머지 문자는 소문자로 변환해요.
+
+## 인터페이스
+
+```typescript
+function capitalize<T extends string>(str: T): Capitalize<T>;
+```
+
+### 파라미터
+
+`str` (`T`): 대문자로 변환할 문자열.
+
+### 반환 값
+
+(`Capitalize<string>`): 대문자로 변환된 문자열.
+
+## 예시
+
+```typescript
+import { capitalize } from 'es-toolkit/string';
+
+capitalize('fred'); // returns 'Fred'
+capitalize('FRED'); // returns 'Fred'
+```
